By Yakuta DawoodAmidst intensifying discussions on the possibilities of exporting hemp – a type of cannabis plant – to the international market, an official from the Export Development Board (EDB) stated that Sri Lanka should try other export avenues rather than focusing on “something that is not possible”. “With the present legalisation, growing and exporting cannabis is going to be a complicated process, which will be very difficult to implement. If we can sort out these issues, we can improve quite a bit in our export market,” he said. Right now, the EDB is helping companies to brand, market, and gain exposure in the international market,” the official added. Everyone wants to do the tea business, whereas Sri Lanka has also been blessed by the gods with an all-natural treatment called cannabis.
