High value cash crop market in #SriLanka is expanding with #tourism picking up again. Rijk Zwaan is becoming an essential partner by providing the Sri Lankan #horticulture sector with high quality seeds. Visiting their facilities in the #Netherlands was very helpful indeed.

Had a visit to the agroforestry site of the Heyleys Plantation at Halgolla. Many other crops are now being integrated with tea to create an agricultural forest garden. This is in line with the #Dutch #climate policy and promoting #Sustainability across agricultural supply chains
