Thats an opportunity for extensive farming. But agriculture is subsidized, mostly in terms of fertilizer now. The farmers have no push factor really. Maybe a little bit of competition from aborad would help them exploit more opportunity, as you said in the north and north east.The govt could help them with this buy providing land cheaply, or encouraging more commercial methods like tractors as opposed to buffalos.Agriculture is a key industry. And a country should never rely on another for food.Thats why the US subsidize their farmers so much, and so does the EU with their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).Another thought is that, Sri Lanka is known for having a balance between cheap labour and quality whereby attracting multinationals to outsource. So I think it would be better that we exploit this market niche instead of promoting low cost or cheap stuff like China and India. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
