Sri Lankan economy has been an agriculture based economy for a long time,.. once JR pappa introduced the open economy, everything came flowing into the country and that basic structure collapsed,...
With the world economy going down, and the possible future food scarce,... Sri Lanka has an excellent opportunity to revive the agriculture based economy.
North and east being liberate,d has vast agricultural land area available for Sri Lanka to cultivate anything and everything...
If the Sri Lankan politicians and their officers are wise enough,.. this is an excellent opportunity to make use of it....
Let the workforce coming out with the jobless claims employ in government controlled farms, and give concessions to the farmers instead of the MP's and Ministers... at least the farmers will produce something,...

Who Said
'Will bring Rice even from the MOON and give to the Voters '
1970 SLFP & UF
'Will give the Bread @ 3.50 '
1994 SLFP & UPA
We heard that 1952 JR as finance Minister has increased the Price of Rice by 25 cents and PM Dudley has to resign.
After 1965 Dudley started the Food Production program, but officials took him for a ride.
1977 they build the agricultural infrastructure with accelerate Mahaweli in addition to energy/power. But no proper follow up was done. Buildings were done as paddy stores etc in mahaweli area were sold to mudalalies in 1990's.
Now the hard working farmers from the North also there if proper incentives and acceptance given to the agriculture sector finding employment in Sri Lanka is not difficult.

| Contribution of Agriculture to the GDP is around 10-15% only. Therefore, Sri Lanka should try to develop Small and Medium scale Industrial Sector. |
