Initiative aims to enhance leasing solutions for agricultural machinery

HNB has partnered with Hayleys Agriculture Holdings Ltd., to introduce a series of financial and operational benefits designed to enhance accessibility, affordability, and sustainability in Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector.

This collaboration will provide farmers and agribusinesses with attractive leasing options and special discounts, ensuring greater financial flexibility and long-term viability for agricultural investments.

As part of this initiative, HNB will offer preferential interest rates under its ‘Govi Saviya’ program, designed to support farmers in acquiring essential machinery. Additionally, HNB continues its commitment to empowering the agricultural community through its ‘Sarusara’ program, which provides educational resources and financial support to smallholder farmers across the country.

This partnership reflects HNB’s commitment to driving agricultural development, supporting mechanisation, and easing the financial burden on farmers, stated HNB Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Wijemanne. By integrating innovative leasing solutions with dedicated industry support, the collaboration aims to strengthen Sri Lanka’s agricultural landscape and empower farming communities nationwide.

Hayleys Agriculture Holdings Managing Director Jayanthi Dharmasena said: “At Hayleys Agriculture, we are committed to bridging the gap between traditional farming and modern practices with mechanisation. This partnership with HNB enhances access to essential machinery and financial tools, while reinforcing our dedication to strengthening Sri Lanka’s agricultural foundation.”
