Samagi Jana Balawegaya Parliamentarian V Radhakrishnan says hasty decisions of the government will not contribute to successful organic fertiliser-based crops.
Speaking to NewsRadio the MP said many vegetable farmers in the Nuwara-Eliya District are adversely affected by the ban on the use of chemical fertiliser.
The Parliamentarian said up to 10-15 years will be required to successfully farm with organic fertiliser.
He attributed the government’s decision to halt the importation of fertilisers to the government’s lack of foreign reserves.
