The fertilizer subsidy has not been given to farmers, who have already begun the paddy cultivation in the maha season, Chief Opposition Whip Anura Kumara Dissanayake told Parliament today.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture Wasantha Aluvihara, who responded that the subsidy would be credited to the accounts of farmers within two weeks, when they prove that they have begun the cultivation.
“Though there has been a delay in cultivation in some areas some 95,000 acres in Ampara, 1000 acres in Kurunegala and 20,000 acres in Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa had been cultivated,” Dissanayake said.
However, he said fertilizer subsidy had not been given to the farmers despite this situation. (Yohan Perera)

Look at the brighter side comrade. The MPs got their allowances increased and the Ranil is looking into how to double their salaries. Farmers can wait awhile more for their fertilizer subsidy.
