The Minister of Agriculture Mahindananda Aluthgamage has said that there is no need to worry about food shortages and that people in countries like Singapore and Dubai have not had to starve even though not a single grain of rice has been produced.
“If there’s a food problem, we’ll still import food, we only have a few shortcomings at this moment. Those will also be fulfilled sooner”
Mahindananda Aluthgamage said this addresses a function held yesterday (05) to mark the 50th anniversary of the Phosphate Company.
