President Disanayake made these remarks at a pre-Budget 2026 meeting with private sector representatives of the agriculture and food and beverage sectors.
He added that the role of governments was to support industries rather than hinder them, and he underscored the necessity of consulting with relevant sectors during the regulation drafting process, ensuring sufficient time is allocated for their execution.
The PMD said the meeting focused on providing facilities for farmers, export growth, tax concessions, recycling, and the legal environment affecting the sector.
