The Hon. (Dr.) (Ms.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister
A new Chairman has been appointed to the Fragmentation Board, and the Government intends to improve its functioning through stronger coordination. The Prime Minister attributed problems in the coconut sector to fragmented agencies, weak planning, inadequate replanting, and fertilizer gaps, and said institutions are being aligned under common short-, medium-, and long-term plans to address these issues.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, a new Chairman has been appointed to the Fragmentation Board. Under our Government, it will function properly. The lack of coherent policy and planning for coconut is at the root of these problems—multiple agencies and officers but no direction. That led to fragmentation, neglect of replanting, and fertilizer gaps. We are changing that. All institutions are now being aligned to common short-, medium-, and long-term plans with proper leadership and coordination. The issues raised will be addressed through that framework.
