They all agreed that the aquaculture is bound to flourish with the increasing demands of local aquatic products and the growing developments of exports even though the current fishing in Sri Lanka is widespread. The prawn and shrimp farming of India which is near Sri Lanka not only has large-scale, but also in rapid development in recent years. But for Sri Lanka, it is still under the start-up stage even though owning rich resources in freshwater and coastline. Therefore, Sri Lanka government is starting to work hard to support the development of prawn and shrimp industry.

This also reflected Sri Lanka’s determination of actively promoting and developing feeds & other related industries. Sri Lanka has a unique geographic location and climate condition which is very suitable for developing aquaculture, but technology and capital are the key restricting factors.

Combined with the Belt and Road initiative, we believe that there will be many Chinese enterprises to invest in the aquaculture industry of Sri Lanka in the near future. And Sri Lanka, the magical island country is bound to have a bright future in international aquaculture.
