Sathosa Sells Coconuts at Rs. 65

The Coconut Cultivation Board and Lanka Sathosa have jointly taken measures to provide coconuts at Rs 65. Coconut Cultivation Board (CCB) Chairman Kapila Yakandawala said,  that the CCB has already issued one million coconuts to the market.

He said around 70,000 coconuts have been supplied to 180 urban Sathosa outlets and ‘Kapruka’ societies have also been informed to supply coconuts directly to Sathosa outlets. Consumers will receive  maximum of 5 coconuts at Rs 65 at Sathosa outlets.

Measures would be taken to supply four million coconuts to the market by next month.

As a result of this we would be able to control the unnecessary profits earned by traders, he said.
