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.
