Fuel shortage affects vegetable supply

COLOMBO (News 1st); The fuel shortage in Sri Lanka has greatly affected the people who live by selling and transporting vegetables, across Sri Lanka.

Although the Katugastota Economic Center has received stocks of vegetables these days, because of the current fuel crisis there has been a sharp decline in the number of buyers.

As a result, the prices of vegetables at the Katugastota Economic Center have dropped sharply these days.

The chairman of the Katugastota Traders Association, D.N Silva said that the usual level of business has been disrupted.

Further, he said that the main reason for this is the lack of diesel for businessmen.
