The launch represents a further step in Hayleys Agriculture’s evolution from its strong foundations in agricultural inputs towards becoming a broader, solutions-led organisation across the agricultural and food value chains, with an increasing focus on mechanisation, technology and value addition.
Another key highlight of the exhibition was the unveiling of the revamped Govi Aruna range from Sunfrost (Pvt) Ltd, alongside Island Magic Peanut Spread. Featuring a refreshed visual identity and brand proposition, the Govi Aruna range continues to build relevance around convenient, quality products suited to everyday Sri Lankan cooking.
Visitors were able to experience the versatility of the portfolio through live tasting sessions and interactive chef demonstrations, featuring familiar Sri Lankan favourites alongside contemporary food creations. The activation provided consumers with a first-hand understanding of the products, ingredients and their different applications.
Hayleys Agriculture also highlighted its growing focus on agricultural mechanisation and precision technology through an immersive agricultural drone experience. Visitors were introduced to the role of drone technology in modern farming through an interactive AR-based gaming experience, while the Agri Equipment segment showcased agricultural drones and other mechanisation solutions aimed at improving efficiency, productivity and precision across farming operations.
