36,000 metric tonnes of Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) fertilizer will be distributed to all paddy farmers in Sri Lanka through the Ministry of Agriculture.
The TSP is being granted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
In a joint statement, the FAO and USAID said that the amount of TSP provided per farmer will be determined based on the area they cultivated in the 2022/2023 Maha cultivation season.
The distribution list along with the land extent cultivated during this Maha season used to determine the amount of TSP fertilizer allocated per farmer has been published and displayed at all Agrarian Service Centres of the Department of Agrarian Development.
FAO has invited all eligible paddy farmers to visit their respective Agrarian Service Centre and ensure their details have been incorporated.
The statement further said the distribution lists will be displayed until 5 January 2023, and the date of fertilizer distribution will be shared through the Agrarian Service Centres. (NewsWire)
