He made the point while commenting to the media after the puja at Buddhist temple in the city of kandy
He continued,
In the past, when there was a shortage of rice in the country, the villagers consumed tapioca, green gram and potato.
Instead of eating pans, eating tapioca is also good for cancer. Green gram is not bad.
It will be successful as newcomers continue to do this. The first season will be an experience. If the harvest is low, the payment is guaranteed. There is no need to be afraid of it.
It is clear that no one likes organic farming. People should be provided with quality non-toxic food.
In the past there has been an outcry for no multinationals. Now it is said that chemical fertilizer should be obtained. We need to think about this. Tapioca grows well on our land.
There are more than 60 varieties of tubers locally. There are many crops like green lentils and kaubi. You should get used to eating them. Our money also costs a lot of chemical fertilizers. Both should give assurances for this, he added.
