Sri Lanka is set to launch its strategic export roadmap for the next five years with the primary objective to achieve an export revenue target of 36 billion dollars by 2030, the country’s export development board said.
The National Export Development Plan (NEDP) 2026–2030 was developed by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) with technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
“The national plan is structured around two main pillars, the first of which is the Horizontals, which provide the essential foundational support required to drive growth across all priority sectors,” EDB said.
These include trade facilitation, trade finance and investment ecosystem development, trade promotion and market access, supply chain management and consolidation centre operations, and quality infrastructure, standards, and ESG compliance.
Skills development, innovation, and entrepreneurship are also under this pillar.
As the second pillar, 8 priority sectors, or Verticals, have been identified, targeting enhanced export diversification and value addition.
