Bring your products to Europe
Natural ingredients, sustainable tourism or digital services
Natural ingredients are highly demanded in Europe - not only for the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. Sri Lanka has lots to offer in this respect, especially in the important organic farming segment.
European companies attach great importance to international quality standards like HACCP, ISO-standards and GMP. Natural flavors and healthy ingredients are particularly popular in Europe, such as:
- Coconut products such as virgin coconut oil, coconut blossom sugar, coconut butter or drinking coconut
- Spices, such as cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, vanilla, nutmeg and many more.
- Essential oils and extracts of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger or cloves, etc.
Sri Lanka is also an attractive destination for European tourists because of its enormous variety in a small area. By offering sustainable and innovative products including nature, wellness, culture and adventure tours, Sri Lankan tourism companies can increase their presence in the European tourism market.
In addition, Sri Lanka offers promising potential in the field of digital services. European companies are increasingly seeking reliable IT partners for services such as software development, business process outsourcing (BPO), and IT-enabled services (ITES).
IPD supports Sri Lankan copmanies – whether in natural ingredients, sustainable tourism, or digital services – with market insights, matchmaking, and access to the European market.
