Government To Provide Fertilzer Subsidy Again To Farmers

Government has decided to grant Fertilizer subsidy to the local farmers as done during previous governments .

The decision has been taken at the Cabinet Meeting held yesterday(06) as per a proposal made by Minister Sajith Premadasa.

Accordingly Paddy farmers will receive a Fertilizer Subsidy worth Rs.500 and other Crop Farmers will receive Fertilizer Subsidy worth Rs.1200.

Soon after the current government came to power in 2015  the Fertilizer subsidy provided to farmers has been removed and introduced a  programme to deposit money in accounts of Farmers to purchase Fertilizer which becomes unpopular among the Farming community.
