70% of Sri Lankans live in rural areas; of these, a majority are agriculture-dependant farmers. DIMO is committed to partner and empower our farmers, with a special focus on enabling them to improve their productivity.

DIMO Agri Business has recently ventured into biological fertiliser and biological crop protection, exploring the possibility of organic fertiliser and hybrid seed development with the Department of Agriculture.

For years, farmers have been implored to reduce the volume of chemical usage by adding only the amounts necessary. Various methodologies have been used over time to educate and demonstrate how to cultivate successfully by using correct balances and protocols to achieve desired productivity levels, without wasting inputs and polluting our soil. At DIMO Agri Techno Parks, we display how farmers can reap the maximum of their inputs.

Similarly, we have empowered the female farming community by introducing silage – the cultivation of fodder for animal husbandry. This has proven to have a positive impact on improving household income.
