In order to remedy the shortfall, Sri Lanka will import one million eggs per day from five chosen chicken farms in Tamil Nadu, India. These eggs would be sold through the state-run retail chain called “Lanka SATHOSA” predominantly in the Western Province.
According to Asiri Walisundara, the chairman of State Engineering Corporation, a team of representatives from the Department of Animal Production and Health visited these farms for quality checks and certified them.
The orders, he claimed, were put in last week.
