Overfishing and environmental regulations restrict the availability of seafood, which in turn affects the supply of raw materials for canning.

The market also faces high production costs and competition from both local fresh seafood vendors and international canned seafood brands, making it challenging for local producers to maintain a competitive edge.

Efforts include subsidies for fishing equipment and canning facilities, as well as training programs for sustainable fishing practices. Export incentives are provided to boost the international competitiveness of Sri Lankan canned seafood. Quality control and certification processes are stringent to meet both domestic and international standards.
