Institute of Food Science and Technology Sri Lanka

How is IFSTSL managed?

Sri Lanka was one of the few countries that did not have an institute dedicated to Food Science & Technology. The Institute of Food Science & Technology-Sri Lanka (IFSTSL) was established in 2011 through efforts of the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association, with participation of academics, scientists and industrialists in the food sector.

IFSTSL gives an opportunity for Sri Lanka to strengthen its economy, industry and human capacity through combined efforts of everybody interested, dependent, and serving in the food industry in Sri Lanka. IFSTSL plans to provide opportunities for everybody in the food industry to strengthen their knowledge and skills, to become a recognizable force in the national economy, to link with the international counterparts and provide an internationally competitive environment for the food industry.

It is time that everybody attached to the food industry make use of this opportunity by becoming members of the IFSTSL.

The IFSTSL is managed by a Council of 13 members and a Governing Board of 5 members elected at the
Annual General Meeting among its members.The two bodies work together to maintain high professional standards in all activities of IFSTSL. The IFSTSL is registered under the Registrar of Companies with a legally acceptable constitution governing its activities.
