The Dhaka Times Desk The position of the island nation of Sri Lanka in coconut production is number 4 in the world, but this fruit is not available in the market there. Arundika Fernando, the country's coconut minister, climbed a coconut tree to explain the real reason to the common people.
He held a press conference sitting on a tree. The minister said that the demand for these coconuts in the local industry and the domestic market has increased manifold, due to which there is currently a shortage of 70 crore coconuts across Sri Lanka.
Quoting Sri Lanka's Coconut Minister Arundika Fernando, the local news media News First wrote that the government is making every effort to cultivate coconuts on the lands that are lying. He also said that steps will be taken for the development of the coconut industry. He commented that a huge amount of foreign exchange can also be earned by exporting products through the development of this industry.
Statistics show that coconut production in Sri Lanka has suffered a major setback in recent times. From January to June this year, i.e. in the first 6 months, 136.7 million coconuts have been produced, which is at least 13.6 percent less than the same period last year. The price of coconuts in the country is still skyrocketing due to reduced production on the one hand and increased demand on the other, which is why the anger among the common people is gradually increasing.
And so the Sri Lankan coconut minister also said that the country's government has taken steps to control the price increase. He also assured that the price will decrease very soon. Time will tell when coconut prices will come down again. However, the workers and supporters of the ruling party are very happy to see how the minister himself climbed the tree and held a press conference to explain the reason for the price increase.
