Attempts to smuggle several shipments foiled at Colombo Port
The Government has decided not to lift the ban imposed on importing ethanol to the country and is considering confiscating the alleged shipments of ethanol that have been brought into the country following the imposition of the ban, Co-Cabinet Spokesperson and Minister of Plantations and Export Agriculture Dr. Ramesh Pathirana said.
The Minister made this observation during the weekly Cabinet press briefing held yesterday (25).
According to Pathirana, there are several shipments that are being held at the Colombo Port after they had been imported to the country using different codes, following the import ban.
The Minister explained that Sri Lanka Customs officials have been informed of such attempts and necessary action would be taken.
The Minister also noted that the state-owned Sevanagala and Palewatta sugar factories have commenced the production of locally manufactured ethanol and that they are involved in 100% of the production of locally manufactured ethanol, which has proved to be sufficient to cover the country’s requirement.
