Travelling: The Spice of Life

Later this week, I will be traveling to Kandy - a hill station in the central part of Sri Lanka - in a UN vehicle, in my avatar as a Special Correspondent with the Financial Times.

I am working on a feature story on the spice industry in Sri Lanka, which has languished because of quality and marketing issues... There used to be a time when spices from here used to be exported – and even smuggled – into India.

The United Nations Development Programme is attempting to revive the industry to its glory days.
