Nov. 03, 2014 (LBT) - Sri has the possibility of becoming the ‘Natural Polymer Hub in the world, says RishadBathiudeen, Minister of Industry and Commerce.
The minister made these observations at the first ever Global Rubber Confab (GRC) to take place in Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday, October 28.
“By supplying both natural and synthetic rubber in parallel, there is a good possibility that we can strategically become a ‘polymer hub’, or at least a ‘natural polymer hub’ to the world. With Sri Lanka’s historic natural rubber reputation, I believe that is a viable option that we all can explore and implement the strategy,” said an upbeat MinisterBathiudeen.
