The Hon. Sajith Premadasa
Attention was drawn to difficulties faced by small and medium-scale paddy millers, including the non-receipt of promised concessional interest loans. It was stated that small millers account for about 65 percent of paddy purchasing, and the Government was asked to respond and take prompt action.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Finally, I draw attention to a pressing matter. At present, small and medium-scale paddy millers face severe issues. The concessional interest loans said to be provided have not been received. About 65 percent of paddy purchasing is done by small millers. I request the Government to act promptly and provide answers.
