Why is this change.

What do you expect? they enact a regulation which they have tried for over a year to enforce, but should know it is impractical until some serious changes are made to the transport system.
It is only economical to transport in plastic crates if it is done by rail. Otherwise you need 3 lorries to transport in crates what one lorry can in the old way.
I am not one to say the earlier method is correct, I am only saying that when they make such a drastic change it takes about 4 years to implement. It changes the whole lifestyle of the food transport system. No one in government knows what the workers and transporters have to contend with

Like it or not, they have to follow this procedure, if our country is to develop.
The Ministry could order these plastic containers, and give it to the vendors, to be paid back in installments, if it is a financial issue to them.

This is the problem in Sri Lanka. We need to overcome these type of village level mentalities to progress.

Instead of plastic containers, why don't the minister consider about some eco-friendly disposable baskets -

At least now learn a lesson, this is food you treat like garbage. Have some respect for the produce which feeds your family.

@Patta Pal, agree with you 100% mate. Better late than never. But when you look at the comments posted by some readers, you can get a good glimps of the attitude of the general public.
