A note from a chemical engineer about Sri Lankan milk production

Now Sri Lanka is producing 33MT/day of Milk Powder by Both Pelwatte and Highland. But supply is only fullfilling 20.30% of the Sri Lankan demand.

However I think year 2012 is one of the turning points of this country economy. We have imported 83,817.7 MT of milkpowder in 2012 and the cost was 39023 million rupees. In 2013 we have imported 69,452.4 MT of Milk Powder and cost was 37572.1 million rupees. That means sudden reduction of 1450.9 million rupees per year.

The major reason is Pelwatte staring its first powder plant construction in 2011.

Now we are constructing 3rd Milk Powder Plant at Pelwatte and 4th one also be stared very soon.

This will help to increse the supply up to 26.46% of Sri Lankan demand and this also will be a huge turning point of the process industry in Sri Lanka and economy.

A factory to manufacture anti-biotic vaccines by Navesta Pharmaceuticals was declared open in Sri Lanka

A factory to manufacture anti-biotic vaccines by Navesta Pharmaceuticals was declared open by President Maithripala Sirisena yesterday (Aug. 30). The factory which was built at a cost of Rs. 1.4 billions was opened in Horana by making a landmark in the field of local drug production. The factory will provide 50 million cruets of drug to the public health sector annually, saving the foreign exchange spent for importing them. This will also generate job opportunities for local specialists in the fields of bio-chemist, drugs and pharmaceutical sciences, molecular bio-science and other related sections. A pack of the first drug productions of the new factory was presented to the President by the Chairman of Navesta Pharmaceuticals, Sanjaya Jayaratne.
