斯里兰卡农民威胁抗议政府未能确定公平稻谷价格, Sri Lankan farmers threaten protests over government's failure to set fair paddy prices.

斯里兰卡稻田农民威胁群众抗议, 除非政府为其农产品定下公平价格, Sri Lankan paddy farmers are threatening mass protests unless the government sets a fair price for their produce. 农民要求每公斤至少140卢比,因为80卢比至100卢比的当前价格太低,无法支付费用。 Farmers demand at least Rs 140 per kilogram, as current prices of Rs 80 to Rs 100 are too low to cover costs. 政府因未宣布经认证的价格(据报纳都稻田为115卢比,桑巴为120卢比)以及推迟提供补贴化肥而受到批评。 The government is criticized for not announcing certified prices, which reportedly are Rs 115 for nadu paddy and Rs 120 for samba, and for delays in providing subsidized fertilizer.
