President reviews 29 institutions of Plantation and Community Infrastructure Ministry

The meeting extensively reviewed the progress of projects implemented by 29 institutions under the Ministry in 2025.

President Disanayake instructed officials to identify lands suitable for commercial-scale coconut plantations and promote their development. However, he noted that priority should be given to increasing the productivity of existing coconut plantations rather than focusing solely on new lands. The President also stressed the need to raise public awareness about existing laws and regulations governing the efficient use of privately-owned coconut estates.

Disanayake additionally instructed the preparation of a plan for the proper utilisation of underused Department of Public Trustee lands.
