Sri Lanka farmers protest against gov’t policies as crop yields drop

Thousands of farmers in Sri Lanka are protesting against the continuing economic crisis which has brought shortages of food, fuel and medicine. The rally was organised by the National People's Power opposition alliance – which accuses the government of mismanaging the economy. Some farmers are blaming their poor harvests on government policy that banned fertilisers.
