A digital export promotion program was implemented last week by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board(EDB) to address the negative impact on exports caused by the outbreak of
COVID 19.The scheduled physical export promotion programs of EDB are on hold due to the global pandemic, and instead new promotional activities are being accelerated. Hence a new plan of action has been drawn up to carry out digital promotions during the next two quarters of the year 2020.
