The public does not need to worry about the warnings made by certain political parties and experts that a food scarcity is on the rise, emphasised Director General of Agriculture Dr. Ajantha De Silva, making it clear before media that such a food scarcity will not be allowed whatsoever.
Suggesting that certain political groups are catering to false propaganda based on the crisis occurred on organic farming, Dr. Silva urged the public not to be deceived by such false alarms.
Expressing his utmost confidence, the Agriculture Director General noted that there will be no shortage of locally grown crops.
Dr. Silva acknowledged that there might be a shortage of food items imported due to the dollar deficit, adding however that the matter will be rectified in the future.
