Agriculture Development Minister Maithripala Sirisena told Parliament yesterday that it is a matter for shame that Sri Lanka still imports Kurakkan every year.
Minister Sirisena said the country still imports grains such as cowpea, and an import tax had been imposed in the budget to discourage the influx of such foreign items to the local market.
