Habarana, Giradurukotte, Kantale and Ipalogama.
According to Farms Pride (Pvt) Limited Chairman,

them to the company and earn an income of around Rs.
15,000.
"When we give the chicks we follow up the progress
and our doctors are available for any help", said
the Company Chairman M. Imitiaz.
According to the Pupuressa, Panwilathenna Broiler
Farm (Knox Farm) Manager Chandana Rajapakshe, the
company had given them opportunities to improve
their knowledge and skills on the enterprise by
holding local seminars, and workshops as well as
training sessions abroad. He told the Sunday
Observer that almost all the employees are trained
well to carry out their duties and they are happy to
work there because of the quality management, which
does not create unnecessary problems.
In addition to meeting the local market requirements
Crysbro Management is now eying to expand their
products to the international market.
The Pride Farm Head expressed concern over the
foreign exchange, which the country spends to import
chicken feed. He is in a process of manufacturing
the country's chicken feed at Bibile.
MD Imitiaz denied any possibility of bird flue cases
in the country and called upon the government to
focus attention on the tax issue on the chicken
industry.
He said only chicken farms have to pay a tax.
Chicken could be sold at a cheaper price, if the
government is ready to waive the tax, which has been
forced on the industry.
