President encourages farmers to grow Mung Bean over difficulty to grow Paddy

Date:

The government has decided to encourage farmers to grow Mung Bean over any difficulty to grow Paddy in their fields, based on information received to President Rajapaksa during his visit to the Agrarian Development Department.

In addition, these farmers will also be encouraged to grow Mung Bean in between the two Seasons as an inter-crop.

The government has also decided to provide subsidies for Mung Bean cultivation. Accordingly, the President has instructed the Agriculture officers to provide financial assistance to farmers to purchase seeds required for Mung Bean cultivation during periods in which Paddy cannot be cultivated in the Yala Season and as an additional crop during the Inter-Season.
