A programme to plant three million jak trees across the country has been launched by the Government.
The first phase of the program to plant three million jackfruit trees across the country, under the theme ‘Guwan Hamuda Herali Perali’, was launched on Saturday at the Anuradhapura Air Force Base under the patronage of President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
This program has been implemented in conjunction with the government’s food security program with the aim of creating a local and foreign jackfruit market and to promote jackfruit among the Sri Lankan people, the Presidents office said.
Under this program, seventy five thousand jackfruit trees are expected to be planted within this year.
The book ‘Guwan Hamuda Herali Perali’ written about the jackfruit plantation was also presented to President Wickremesinghe.
In addition to jackfruit cultivation, this book also contains information on related products.
