With de-mining of North gaining momentum, India is sending a team of agriculture experts to assist in activation of farming in the areas that have been freed from the LTTE.
The team, to be led by a crop scientist of Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), is expected to travel to Sri Lanka by the end of this month.
The agriculture experts will assess the soil condition, irrigation facilities and weather conditions among other aspects to determine how farming could be started in the areas freed from LTTE control, sources told PTI.
