The Cabinet nod has been granted to establish Youth Agripreneurship Villages at Divisional Secretariat level, in a bid to attract youth to the agriculture sector, with the use of the latest technologies.
Agriculture and Plantation Industries Minister Mahinda Amaraweera this week sought the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers to implement the programme by selecting one village in each of the selected Divisional Secretariat area this year, under the first phase and to facilitate the farmers to use new technology and
smart technology.
The Government Information Department noted that the government plans to create a youth agripreneurship community and to introduce agri-innovation to agricultural areas through the programme, with the aim of attracting the youth community to agriculture and developing their economic status.
The employment in the agriculture sector declined to 2.08 million last year, from 2.15 million a year earlier, after a temporary boost in 2020 and 2021, fuelled by the
Covid-19 pandemic.
