It's not a wise move. Minister or someone in the top must be having some interest. I am sure local producers have the capacity to meet the demand. or else best thing is to help local Poultry's or small timers to develop instead of finding unhealthy short term solutions

While accepting this as a short term measure, (Even though it is already late), measures to be taken to improve the local industry.

Johnny, is this for 2011 Christmas? A very far sighted Minister. A very good example for other Ministers too who wait until the last moment to take action by checking the biggest share of commission.

Jonny is becoming famous for his belated actions. He is one who speaks for the sake of argument oblivious to the reality prevalent on the ground.

Why not the Govt make an effort to improve the local industry of the poultry breeders by importing poultry food at lower prices!

A BIT TOO LATE FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON.
DO WE REALLY NEED TO IMPORT.

THERE ARE ENOUGH UNEMPLOYED TO START SMALL SCALE POULTRY FARMS LOCALLY FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION .
IS IT NOT TIME THE MEGA GOVERNMENT WITH MEGA CABINET HELPED LOCALS TO START SMALL SCALE PROJECTS INSTEAD OF IMPORTING. MAY BE SOME OF THESE LEGISLATORS HAVE VESTED INTERESTS IN IMPORTS

WAKE UP MAHINDA INSTEAD OF WORDS WE NEED ACTION. IF YOU CAN NOT DO IT LET SOMEBODY ELSE WHO CAN. NEVER MIND THE GLASS BALL

Whilst this is a smart move for the country's wellbeing, it is true that lab. tests would be a good idea to make sure the chickens are not diseased.

Good move by Minister elected from one of the largest poultry producing district in SL (Kurunegla), to safeguard the industry import eggs and chicken (important essential food for the people) ha ha ha

New Trade Minister is going for easy solutions only to become famous. These are cosmetic gestures. Now, nobody talks about foreign currency reserves. Suddenly, when it becomes zero, they will start going round the world in 100’s, begging for money. This is what happens when you vote a party with two third majority. This government is like a spoiled child!.
