Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth noted that Ampara is a significant milk-producing area but that several DS divisions, including Pottuvil, lack grazing land. He asked whether the Government would establish or facilitate a private silage unit on about five acres to cultivate and distribute fodder such as maize, in order to support dairy production.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Minister. My first supplementary: Ampara significantly contributes to milk production, but many DS divisions including Pottuvil lack grazing land. If a silage unit is established—cultivating fodder such as maize, cutting, baling and distributing—it would boost production. About five acres is sufficient. Can the Government establish or encourage a private silage unit for Ampara?
