Schutter Global Inspection and Survey Company, the third party testing organization selected by the Chinese company that is embroiled in a conflict with the Sri Lankan agricultural authorities, has cleared its samples of any harmful bacteria on the contrary to findings by Sri Lanka Plant Quarantine service, the company says.

Qingdao Seawin Biotech Group Company has shared the analysis report with the Sri Lanka media. Schutter’s test report says that no harmful characteristics- Coliform bacteria, Salmonella and ascarid- eggs were found in samples provided by the company. The tests have been conducted according to ISO 4832-2006.

The company has already sent a Letter of Demand asking for payment of US $ 8 million from SLPS Deputy Director Dr. W.A.R.T. Wickramarachchi.

Besides, the Chinese embassy in Colombo held talks with the Agriculture Ministry on the matter. The Ministry informed the Chinese side that the shipment of the controversial fertilizer stock would not be allowed into the country.(Kelum Bandara)

Schutter name sounds German, however this is a shady Testing Company located in Beijing overready to provide Test Certificates for Chinese goods. Why haven't we got the tests done through either SGS or BV who are clearly third party Labs that cannot be manipulated.

There the Dragon has performed a magic and the fertilizer is free from harmful bacteria. Will the concerned Minister resign his post forthwith???????

We all knew this was going to happen and why the Ship was circling around playing hora police. Farmers should refuse to use the harmful Chinese muck.

Benjamin George Thursday, 11 November 2021 09:50 AM

The company has unilaterally sent the real real fertiliser for the test. Not the Chinese shit from the ship.

So disband our investigation department and get Chinese to recommend the organisation for testing all products that come into the country

Dear China you believe your company, we believe our Quarantine service please don’t worry us. Take your ship from our shows.

Finally the Chinese have proved that they are more powerful and that they can do whatever they want when it comes to fertilizer or any other product that they produce.
