Grain cultivation on 800 acres
The Ranketha Production Marketing Company Ltd of Hanguranketha has
made arrangements to grow kurakkan, gingelly, millet, kollu and maize on
800 acres of lands in the Hanguranketha and Walapane divisional
secretariat areas in the forthcoming Maha season.
The Department of Agriculture will provide seeds to the farmers for
their cultivations.
A suitable climate prevails in the Hanguranketha and Walapane
divisional secretariat areas for those cultivations. There is a demand
for these grains in the market today. About 80 per cent of kurakkan is
imported from India.
