Agriculture has always played a significant role in the economic development of Sri Lanka, with the sector contributing substantially to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and providing employment opportunities to a significant proportion of the population. However, the agriculture sector in Sri Lanka is facing challenges such as low productivity, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to markets, among others.

To address these challenges, the Youth in Agrifood Export Development Program was initiated to promote the participation of the youth in the agriculture and food processing sectors and to create opportunities for them to establish and expand their enterprises. This program aims to enhance the productivity, quality, and competitiveness of the agriculture sector in Sri Lanka by empowering the youth and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

The Eastern Province of Sri Lanka is a region with significant agricultural potential, and the Youth in Agrifood Export Development Program is expected to have a significant impact on the economic development of the region. This road map outlines the key focus areas, policies, proposed actions and sub-actions, and responsibilities that need to be addressed to support the Youth in Agrifood Export Development Program in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka.

This road map was developed based on a review of relevant national policies and programs and consultations with various stakeholders, including government agencies, private sector organizations, and civil society organizations. It provides a framework for implementing the proposed actions and sub-actions and ensuring the sustainability of the program.

We believe that the successful implementation of this road map will contribute to the economic development of the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka and the country as a whole, and we look forward to working with all stakeholders to make this program a success.
