Lanka Special Steels Unveils LANKA SSL AGRI-GOLD: Strengthening Sri Lanka's Agricultural Infrastructure
In a major initiative to support Sri Lanka’s farming community, Lanka Special Steels Ltd, a leading manufacturer of galvanized steel products, has officially launched its LANKA SSL AGRI-GOLD brand, featuring a new range of high-quality Galvanized Iron (GI) wire and barbed wire. These products are designed to cater to the specific needs of the agricultural sector, focusing on durability, strength, and long-term performance, making them ideal for use in farming environments.
The introduction of the AGRI-GOLD range marks a significant step towards enhancing the quality of agricultural infrastructure in Sri Lanka. The GI wire and barbed wire are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them perfect for securing farms, protecting crops, and ensuring the safety of livestock. The materials' corrosion-resistant properties, coupled with their durability, make them a reliable choice for farming operations in challenging climates.
To commemorate the product launch, LANKA SSL organized an informative awareness programme for office bearers of the Govi Jana Sangam in the Embilipitiya region. This event was supported by the Embilipitiya Agrarian Development Centre, ensuring that the local farming community was well-informed about the new product range and its potential applications.
Addressing the Unique Needs of Farmers
The farming community faces numerous challenges, ranging from crop theft, trespassing, and animal intrusion to environmental wear and tear. Secure fencing is crucial in safeguarding agricultural assets, ensuring effective land delineation, and minimizing crop damage. The new GI wire and barbed wire from LANKA SSL are designed to provide high-strength fencing solutions that stand the test of time, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear caused by weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, humidity, and exposure to direct sunlight.
The Benefits of Galvanized Iron Wire and Barbed Wire for Farmers
GI Wire is widely used in agriculture for various purposes, including general fencing, securing fields, and creating boundaries for crops. The galvanization process makes the wire resistant to rust and corrosion, which is especially important in tropical climates like Sri Lanka, where humidity and rain can degrade non-galvanized products over time. The LANKA SSL AGRI-GOLD GI wire offers not only a strong and durable option for farming needs but also reduces the long-term maintenance cost since it does not require frequent replacements due to weather damage.
On the other hand, barbed wire serves an even more specific role: providing security by preventing unauthorized access to farmland and deterring animals from damaging crops. The LANKA SSL AGRI-GOLD barbed wire is designed for maximum strength, featuring sharp points that make it difficult for animals or intruders to cross, thereby improving farm safety. It also contributes to reducing the risk of crop loss due to animal foraging and improves overall land management.
By introducing these robust products, LANKA SSL aims to empower farmers by providing them with tools that increase security, reduce risks, and ensure a better return on investment for their agricultural operations. Both GI and barbed wire are designed to be long-lasting, thus improving the overall efficiency and sustainability of farming practices in Sri Lanka.
Educating Farmers: The Awareness Programme
Understanding the vital role of education in the successful adoption of new products, LANKA SSL organized an awareness programme to introduce the AGRI-GOLD range to the farming community. The programme targeted office bearers of the Govi Jana Sangam, a well-established farmers' association that works to support rural agricultural practices across Sri Lanka.
Held in the Embilipitiya region, the awareness event was aimed at educating local farmers on the practical applications of GI wire and barbed wire, and their potential benefits in terms of farm security and crop protection. The presence of the Embilipitiya Agrarian Development Centre further reinforced the importance of sustainable agricultural practices and local support for the farming community.
The programme covered the following key topics:
• Importance of farm security: How GI wire and barbed wire can be used to safeguard crops from animals and protect farm boundaries.
• Durability and cost-effectiveness: Explaining the long-term benefits of using galvanized wire and barbed wire, which are designed to resist environmental wear and reduce the frequency of replacements.
• Practical installation tips: How to properly install and maintain fences using the LANKA SSL AGRI-GOLD range for optimal performance.
The awareness programme provided a platform for farmers to engage with product experts, learn more about the range, and ask questions related to product features and benefits.
