The Sri Lankan Army has expanded into yet another previously untouched market in the North; yoghurt production, with the opening of a new yoghurt factory in Jaffna.
The newly opened factory in Kankasanthurai (KKS) will add to the army’s previous two yoghurt factories in Anuradhapura and Panagoda, and, as the army put it “thereby saving a fair chunk of expenditure that can be used for erection of wellness resorts for disable War Heroes in the Army.”
According to their website “army professionalism” has helped cut down costs of producing the dessert “thereby saving a lot of profits”.
See photos from the opening of the KKS factory below, along with the unveiling of the factory's main signboard – in English and Sinhala only.
