President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has directed the Treasury to increase the fertilizer subsidy for paddy farmers to Rs. 25,000 per hectare for the upcoming Maha season of 2024/25. This is a significant increase from the previous subsidy of Rs. 15,000 per hectare.
Key Points:
- The increased subsidy will be implemented from October 01, 2024.
- The allowance will be directly transferred to farmers’ bank accounts, ensuring prompt and transparent disbursement.
This initiative aims to provide much-needed financial support to paddy farmers, enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security for the nation.
