Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you for that detailed answer.

¶ 02 Another sector that earns significant foreign exchange is smallholder tea growers. They suffered from the “Divva/Dicha” disaster as well. The President stated that fertiliser support will be provided to smallholders. My first supplementary on that is: could you clarify the fertiliser support to be provided as relief to smallholder tea growers?
