Sri Lanka to hold 2nd annual International Trade Fair in Jaffna in January

Sri Lanka is making arrangements to hold the 2nd annual Jaffna International Trade Fair 2011 (JIFT) in January next year, the organizers said.

The annual International Trade fair themed "Open for Business" will be held from January 21 -23, 2011 at Durayappah Stadium in the capital of Northern Province, Jaffna.
The three-day event is organized by Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services (Pvt) Ltd. in association with the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Jaffna supported by the Sri Lanka Convention Bureau.

The organizers say they have invited for a massive number of booths covering an extensive range of products and services across a wide section of industries.

There is plenty of scope for industries such as construction and infrastructure development, hospitality, food processing, fishing, automobile, apparel and textiles, agriculture, banking and finance, information technology and lot more, the organizers say.

The first-ever Jaffna International Trade Fair 2010 (JITF) titled 'Your Gateway to Yarlpanam' was held in April this year.

With the conclusion of decades-long war and the opening of the A-9 mail highway, Jaffna has become a golden opportunity for businesses to invest, and establish new trade links.
