In an attempt to increase milk production in the Kurunegala district, the People's Bank, Bank of Ceylon and Wayamba Development Bank are offering Rs. 500 million as self-employment loans to prospective dairy farmers.
Under the "Mahinda Chintana" development programme of improving livestock development activities in the Kurunegala and Puttalam districts of the NWP, the National Livestock Development Board has launched a programme to educate dairy farmers on modern know-how of reaping good harvests from the dairy industry.
Expertise, high-bred milch cows and other equipment needed by dairy farmers will be provided free by the NLDB and more than 7,500 farmers would benefit from this new project of the NLDB, said K. M. Jayasekara, a senior dairy farmer of the Kurunegala district who is also the President of NWP Dairy Farmers' Association.
