September 23, 2022 11:00 am
Cabinet of Ministers has given the nod to import of Glyphosate for a period of 06 months for all agricultural activities during the 2022/23 Maha Season.
The government says the decision to ban/restrict the importation of Glyphosate has affected all types of agricultural activities, leading to a decrease in agricultural production and a surge in prices of essential food items.
Taking into this account, permission is granted to import Glyphosate for a period of six months to allow farmers to carry out their agricultural activities more productively during 2022/23 Maha Season.
The relevant proposal was tabled by President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
