Sri Lanka’s producer price inflation remained at 0.5% year-on-year in March 2026, unchanged from February. Agricultural producer prices continued to fall, deepening to -16.5% from -16.2% in the previous month, as output contracted in both non-perennial crops (-20.0%) and perennial crops (-22.4%).

In contrast, manufacturing producer inflation inched up to 3.0% from 2.9%, supported by higher prices in food (4.3%), beverages (0.7%), rubber and plastic products (2.1%), and other transport equipment (5.2%). Costs in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply also rose more sharply, accelerating to 18.0% from 12.6% in February.

On a monthly basis, producer prices were unchanged in March, following a 0.9% decline in February.
