Farmers complain of seed shortage

17 Apr 2020

BY AGRA RANASINGHE Farmers in some areas of the country have complained about the shortage of seeds required for cultivation although they have prepped their fields to commence agricultural work in a bid to overcome a possible food shortage. Ministry of Mahaweli, Agriculture, Irrigation, and Rural Development Secretary Neel Bandara Hapuhinne said that at the moment the agriculture authorities have calculated the seed requirement in the country and with the commencement of the Yala season, the seeds will be distributed continuously. Meanwhile, All Ceylon Farmers' Federation Convener Namal Karunaratne said that the responsibility of setting the mechanism of providing the seeds lies with the Government. He said the Agriculture Department should certify the seeds and provide them to the farmers immediately because the whole country is in need of overcoming the food shortage. Mainly, farmers in the Mawathagama area have complained that their fields, which were prepped, are being destroyed by weeds due to the delay of seeds that should be supplied to them.
