‘Orthodox Black Tea import will spell doom to industry’
 The Planters’ Association of Ceylon (PA), reacting strongly to the statement made by the Tea Exporters Association (TEA) at Wednesday’s media briefing at which they have stated , inter alia, that the import of orthodox black tea would not impact adversely on Pure Ceylon Tea as a premium brand, is in total disagreement.
While the TEA, by their own admission, represents only 83 % of the Tea Exporters, the PA is aware that their membership is not unanimous in the decision to import teas with several leading member exporters being opposed to this proposal while several others are not convinced that this is the way forward.

Sri Lanka's rubber industry needs 21st century thinking
 Sri Lanka is one of the nine major producers of Natural Rubber (NR) in the world. In terms of productivity, it is now the third best. However, if Sri Lanka is to retain, or better still, improve its position in the fast expanding and increasingly competitive global rubber business in the next ten years, it has to pull itself up by the bootstraps, smoothen the many rough edges, and adopt new technologies and practices, suited to the local agro-climatic and socio-economic conditions.
