Sri Lanka reverses organic farming drive as tea suffers
Al JazeeraGovernment backs down from ambitious plans to become the world’s first completely organic farming nation, reversing ban on fertiliser imports. Sri Lanka has backed down from its ambitious plans to become the world’s first completely organic farming nation, reversing a ban on imports of chemical fertiliser. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had imposed a total ban on agrochemicals in May, saying he wanted to make Sri Lankan farming 100 percent organic. Rajapaksa’s policy had sparked anger among tea plantation owners and other farmers who warned that a lack of organic fertiliser and lower yields would lead to shortages.
