Minister of Agriculture Mahindananda Aluthgamage told Parliament today (5) that laboratory tests have confirmed that the organic fertilizer samples sent from India are suitable for use in Sri Lanka.
He went on to say that discussions are underway to import nano-nitrogen fertilizer from India and if there is a delay, a decision has been reached to import the fertiliser via air freight.
As previous samples from China had tested positive for the presence of the Erwinia Bacteria, he confirmed that the halt of the Chinese manufactured fertiliser will not impact the harvesting seasons in the country.
It was also mentioned that the Indian manufacturered organic fertiliser will be made available for farmers by the 12th of October.
Responding to a question posed at him in Parliament, the Minister said the government will never import fertilizer that is harmful to humans, animals, and plants and will only import fertilizer that meets the standards imposed by the Sri Lanka Standards Institute (SLSI).
