dc.description.abstractThis study undertakes Business Process Analysis (BPA) to help assess trade processes and procedures for export of vegetables, as well as import of tires from Sri Lanka. The BPA maps show total time taken to complete export procedures is 31 days, which is very high compared to international benchmarks. The study suggests that besides tariffs, other bottlenecks are: inland transportation, customs clearance, absence of testing facilities, and receiving payment from the importer. Trade liberalization is important, but inadequate at times to enhance a country’s trade. Trade facilitation and BPAs can inform and complement other efforts to ease trade barriers.en
