Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary: Is there a fixed due date for recovery? Farmers in districts like Ampara, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, especially maize cultivators, face hardship as guaranteed prices have not been declared. Loans are available, but without guaranteed prices, repayment is tough. Has your Ministry set a specific repayment date?
