The Hon. (Ms.) Ambika Samivel
The Hon. Ambika Samivel asked the Minister of Environment to provide details on cut flowers and plants imported into Sri Lanka, including the types, annual quantities by type, and annual import costs. She also sought clarification on whether these imported varieties could be cultivated locally and, if so, what programme has been prepared to support such cultivation; if not, she requested the reasons.
