Calling Proposals to Manage Commercial Plantation/ Agri-business
Government has made a policy decision with the objective of effectively utilizing the plantation lands for the development of export oriented sustainable agriculture including agro-processing and value addition while promoting domestic entrepreneurship. Accordingly, in February 2024, the Cabinet of Ministers appointed an Expert Committee to identify tasks such as identifying unutilized/ underutilized plots of lands (of extent 300 acres or beyond) belonging to institutions such as Janatha Estates Development Board and Sri Lanka State Plantation Corporation in assisting the government to lease out to the private sector investors on long term basis, and proposing suitable crops/ land use for such lands. Accordingly, the Expert Committee with the support of such institutions have already identified some lands and the Non Cabinet Ministry of State Plantation Enterprise Reforms has initiated survey mapping of those lands to call proposals. The Expert Committee has also prepared Draft Request for Proposals and the general guidelines for the investors. The ministry has taken action to appoint Cabinet Appointed Procurement Committee (CAPC) and a Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) to undertake the process. The Ministry expects that it will be able to call proposals by the end of May 2024 with the survey maps expected by that time.
