Brown sugar will be issued at Rs.115 a kilo through the state-run Sathosa retail shops next Monday onwards, Trade Minister Bandula Gunawardane said today.
The Minister said Lanka Sugar Company had recorded profits, and the benefit would be passed on to people in this manner. He said demand for sugar would spike during the festival season for making sweetmeats.
He said Lak Sathosa recorded the highest daily turnover of Rs.142 million on Thursday.
“We will set up Sathosa franchise shops at village level starting from May,” he said.(Kelum Bandara)

Dear Sir, Do you expect people to go that far just to by a kilo of sugar or something else. It should be readily available in any closest market.

Those who shop in Sathosa can never get these soecial priced items and the rest of the population who do not ship at Sathosa have to pay for the losses of Sathosa plus the government . This is a joke
