DIMO has introduced CLAAS Jaguar - a self-propelled state-of-the-art forage harvester built by German agricultural machinery manufacturing giant, CLAAS, to the local market.
The first CLAAS Jaguar harvester was recently delivered to Golden Grains (Pvt) Ltd., a part of Crysbro Group of Companies, set up in 2003, to be used in Kantale and Mahiyanganaya.
Golden Grains is the first Company in Sri Lanka to introduce corn silage bales to Sri Lanka and cultivate corn in 850 acres for corn silage production.
DIMO Chairman and Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage said, “DIMO is aggressively pursuing initiatives which will take Sri Lanka’s mechanisation of agriculture to the next level. CLAAS Jaguar is a giant step forward in that endeavour.”
Crysbro Chairman Mohamed Imtiaz said, “The CLAAS Jaguar will go a long way in improving the silage production levels.”
