Improvement of Quality of Paddy Seeds to increase Rice Production of Paddy Lands

By Irasil

We are most grateful to Mr Gerard Chitty of Irasil Foundaiton of  Australia for granting financial assistance to improve the quality of  paddy seeds to increase rice production of paddy lands in Hambantota District in Sri Lanka.

We have identified many issues in relation  to agriculture especially in  paddy farming. One main issue is Inadequate income  to cover expenditure due to increase  in agricultural input prices. Due to the present economic crisis, inability to purchase high-quality seeds   has resulted  in the decline of yield significantly. The service charges of tractors and harvesters  have also increased three times due to increase in fuel cost. Falling prices of paddy at harvest time,  exploitation due to  monopoly by large-scale traders and increase in wages for workers  are some of other issues faced by farmers.
