Damage by Organic Farming affected entire field of Agriculture. All entitled to compensation, not just Paddy Farmer: SJB (VIDEO)

Date:

The damage by the government’s decision on organic farming affected not only the paddy farmer but also the entire field of Agriculture, said Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Chaminda Wijesiri, speaking to a briefing held in Colombo today (25).

Accordingly, all affected by this decision should be entitled to compensations, the MP noted.

The government should be catering to self-criticism against the foolish decisions it has taken regarding organic farming in order to address the food crisis in the country, he added, warning that further deterioration may occur if agriculture experts are continuously being disregarded and continued to work on advice on organic farming from medical officers.
