President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had informed the Cabinet last evening that Western countries such as Germany pledged their support to introduce organic farming successfully.
He said these countries were keen to make it a success story here as otherwise it would have a negative effect on experiments on organic agriculture being conducted in those countries.
The President also said that politically motivated farmer agitations had been instigated in the country. He instructed the ministers to attend to any issue about shortages of fertilizer for the current season .
The President has already announced that he will not reverse his decision to introduce organic agriculture no matter what. (Daily Mirror)
