The Hon. Ajantha Gammeddage
A question was raised about alleged non-compliance by privatized plantation companies with contractual conditions, including conversion of tea and rubber lands to other crops such as cinnamon. The member asked what action the Ministry would take to prevent misuse of plantation lands and enforce the relevant agreements.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: These plantation companies were privatized in the late 1980s. Now only a few marginal lands remain visible on the ground. Many contractual conditions do not appear to be followed. Tea is being removed to plant cinnamon, or rubber is replaced with other crops, though such changes may not be in agreements. What actions will the Ministry take to stop such misuse?
