COLOMBO : SPAR International, in a statement, said here on Monday that the Sri Lankan goods that were exported recently to SPAR Oman were sold out in 15 days.
The consignment of Sri Lankan goods was arranged by the Sri Lankan Embassy in Oman, The statement also states that SPAR Oman had added 78 more Sri Lankan products under this initiative.
“.Since COVID-19 regulations have curtailed travel opportunities, SPAR customers in Oman, comprising local and international residents, have welcomed the expanded international range.
Over the past years, SPAR Oman has regularly purchased fresh fruits and vegetables from Sri Lanka, which have proven popular among shoppers. Based on this success, the company decided to expand the range with more processed groceries.
An invitation to participate in a business conference hosted by the Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Oman Omar Lebbe Ameer Ajwad presented an opportunity to interact with Sri Lankan companies. This event fostered closer collaboration between SPAR Oman and the SPAR operator in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Biscuits Limited, resulting in SPAR Oman placing a product order worth US$10,000.
The launch was celebrated at an event at SPAR Madinat Qaboos, hosted by the Ambassador Ajwad and SPAR Oman CEO Sridhar Moosapeta on May 11. Within 15 days, Lankan goods were sold indicating the demand and success of this initiative.”
