Fertiliser price control to be considered?

Date:

Colombo (LNW): The government of Sri Lanka is considering setting a price cap for fertilisers following reports from the Ministry of Agriculture about them being sold to farmers at inflated prices.

A definitive decision on this price control has not yet been made, and any final resolution will be based on thorough analysis of studies and reports concerning fertiliser sales, several local reports claimed.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture shared that President Ranil Wickremesinghe has suggested creating a Modern Agriculture Technical Secretariat, and a Cabinet paper will also be presented to the Cabinet of Ministers in the coming week.
