We’re thrilled to announce that a total of 65,000 Kg of fertilizer has been successfully distributed under the Firstlight initiative in the Monaragala District!
This initiative is not just about providing fertilizers; it’s about empowering local communities, fostering sustainable agricultural practices, and ensuring the prosperity of smallholder farmers.
This accomplishment aligns seamlessly with our ESG target for 2030—an aspiration to uplift livelihoods and empower communities. Our specific goal is to increase farmer-based beneficiaries by 50% through community engagement programs.
Our Firstlight journey began with the aim to ensure fair prices for field latex, and it evolved into optimizing farmers’ yields. We’ve provided essential agricultural inputs and equipment, fostering not just short-term support but a foundation for sustainable growth. Beyond material support, DPL Firstlight has been committed to enhancing knowledge. Education and awareness programs complement our efforts, equipping farmers with the skills needed for sustainable and thriving agricultural practices.
As we reflect on the success of our recent fertilizer distribution event under the Firstlight initiative, we extend our deepest gratitude to all our partners, farmers, and stakeholders. Together, we’re cultivating a future where prosperity and community well-being flourish hand in hand.
