A programme to motivate farmers and youth to use organic fertiliser to save money on expensive non-organic fertilisers and insecticides is launched by the Agro Division of Gold Lanka company.

If the farmer is to be made rich, the land should be fertile. Rich soil will yield a better harvest for long time, Gold Lanka says. For this, there is no other technology can surpass our age-old organic farming.

We work in accordance with the Government policy of promoting organic farming by using organic fertiliser, it says. A large number of farmers and youth have been trained to use 100 per cent organic fertiliser, improved water management methods, creative use of land for higher yield purchase of excess produce and drip water irrigation system.

All instructions will be provided free until the harvest is reaped.
