The President of the National Farmers’ Union, Anuradha Tennakoon, says that the government is misleading farmers by falsely claiming that there is sufficient fertilizer for the upcoming Yala season.
Addressing a media briefing held in Anuradhapura today, he stressed that the true situation regarding fertilizer reserves should be revealed to the farmers immediately. He also warned that if farmers are inconvenienced by false statements, the farmers may be tempted to raid the houses of political leaders in protest.
