May I know whether your agriculture policy define the Long term and short term agric policies? Also, my view is provide a defined period of time for the growers to grow whatever the food items that we import for the consumption in Sri Lanka and ban of import thereafter. It opens the eyes of farmers to cultivate all bare lands to fulfill the country's requirement contineously and it saves foreign exchange on import of duch items

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we have established both long-term and short-term policies for agriculture. For detailed information, please refer to our policy statement. Maximizing cultivation to meet the country's agricultural demands is a top priority for us. We truly appreciate your suggestions, and they will be forwarded to our Research & Development team for consideration. Best regards!

Based on my understanding, the NPP's emphasis on promoting locally produced goods to reduce imports appears promising but comes with significant drawbacks that may outweigh its benefits. For instance, the current livestock development policy aims to cut down on imported dairy products. However with already high taxes on imports, the cost of dairy products in Sri Lanka is among the highest in the region, making these essential foods less accessible to low income groups, potentially leading to malnutrition due to insufficient protein intake. By focusing on promoting local production there is a risk of further driving up prices making these products even less affordable for the poor. This suggests that your policies might be more oriented toward benefiting producers rather than consumers, which could be a concern in other sectors as well. I'm interested in knowing how you intend to address this challenge. While a straightforward answer might be to lower the cost of locally produced goods, this approach may not be practical given the lack of economies of scale and lack of openness to competition which can hinder efficiency improvements. Also providing incentives to farmers or producers is not a sustainable long term strategy. Hence I would appreciate hearing a more practical perspective on the strategies you plan to implement to overcome this challenge.

Thank you for your inquiry. The NPP is committed to balancing support for local producers, especially in the dairy and livestock sector, with ensuring affordability for consumers, particularly low-income groups. Key strategies include fostering market competition, implementing consumer protection mechanisms to regulate prices, investing in technology, improving supply chains, offering farmer education, encouraging product diversification, and collaborating with stakeholders. These efforts are designed to enhance efficiency in the livestock sector while maintaining stable and fair pricing for essential goods, ensuring they remain accessible to all Sri Lankans. We appreciate your valuable insights, and if you wish to know detailed information about our policies, please refer to our manifesto.

What are doing to control the private vehicle prices ?

Thank you for your inquiry. The NPP understands the importance of making private vehicles more affordable for all citizens. Our approach includes reviewing and adjusting tax policies to lower import duties, encouraging local vehicle manufacturing to reduce reliance on expensive imports, and offering subsidies for electric vehicles. We also plan to implement consumer protection regulations to ensure fair pricing and transparency in the automotive market. Additionally, by improving public transportation, we aim to reduce demand for private vehicles, which can help stabilize or lower prices.

Best regards!
