Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Economic Revival Basil Rajapaksa said there will be a possibility of supplying several major types of fertilizer to the local market within next three years.
He said several universities including University of Sri Jayawardenepura have conducted research on locally producing fertilizer.
In a statement, the PMD said researches have confirmed that the domestic demand for Single Superphosphate can be met utilizing Eppawala Phosphate reserve.
Experiments are underway to identify the possibility of producing new varieties of fertilizer using nano technology.
Mr. Basil Rajapaksa said this in response to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa who emphasized the necessity of manufacturing fertilizer locally to meet the demand instead of depending on importation.
During a meeting to discuss future activities of the State Ministry of Regulation of Fertilizer Production and Supply, use of Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticides held at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday, President Rajapaksa directed officials to take swift measures to supply fertilizer without any shortage for Maha season.
President stressed that fertilizer requirement of estates and farmers should be met on time in prescribed quantity with high standards.
President instructed the officials to commence production of fertilizer immediately while the needed investments will be made by the Ministry of Agriculture.

This government and off course its members make me smile. They was one minster talking about nana technology (he was clueless what he was talking about), the came the IT expert (stacking boxed to shelves in the US) talking of "Tool". He considered himself an IT expert. Now the "Pora" man, another expert.
