We will revive rice flour industry as a substitute for bread flour: Minister of Industries

05 Apr 2021

Wimal Weerawansa, Minister of Industries said that necessary technology will be provided to revive the production of rice flour as a substitute for bread flour. He was speaking to the media after inspecting the current condition of the Healthyfla rice flour factory, which is located in the Veyangoda Food Department building. “The Veyangoda Healthyfla factory, which opened in 2011 had the technology to produce rice flour. However, due to the reckless policies of the previous government, production of rice flour was abandoned from January 19, 2015,” he stated. According to the founder of the factory, Arunakantha Bandara, when it was set up it contributed to the reduction of flour imports by about 50% by 2013 and saved the country $ 150 million in foreign exchange He further added that he is confident that Wimal Weerawansa, who is involved in local industry empowerment, will provide the necessary support to restart his factory at full capacity, including rice flour production.
