Keeping to our motto of "Next Generation Agriculture" DIMO Agribusinesses will contribute to convert Sri Lanka's conventional agriculture into modern high-tech agriculture and this will facilitate the initiative of giving us the opportunity to better focus on each business sector and maximum utilization of resources among the business sectors.
It will also facilitate better coordination among different business units and help us to build dynamic cross-functional teams.”
“The strategy of the DIMO Agribusinesses is to operate in appropriate links of total agriculture value chain inspiring customers with differentiation in quality, performance and services.
Centralizing our operations through a single office will expedite execution, reduce possible conflicts and increase the accountability of our operations,” he further stated.
