aces wild dance Fred Harris, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, presidential hopeful and populist who championed Democratic Party reforms in the turbulent 1960s, died Saturday. He was 94. Harris’ wife, Margaret Elliston, confirmed his death to The Associated Press. It was not immediately clear where he died, but he had lived in New Mexico since 1976 and was a resident of Corrales at the time of his death. “Fred Harris passed peacefully early this morning of natural causes. He was 94. He was a wonderful and beloved man. His memory is a blessing,” Elliston said in a text message. Harris served eight years in the Senate, first winning in 1964 to fill a vacancy, and made unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1976. It fell to Harris, as chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1969 and 1970, to help heal the party’s wounds from the tumultuous national convention in 1968 when protesters and police clashed in Chicago.

He ushered in rule changes that led to more women and minorities as convention delegates and in leadership positions. “I think it’s worked wonderfully,” Harris recalled in 2004, when he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Boston. “It’s made the selection much more legitimate and democratic.” Former Oklahoma Sen.

And in the South, there was terrible discrimination against African Americans,” he said. Harris ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976, quitting after poor showings in early contests, including a fourth-place win in New Hampshire. The more moderate Jimmy Carter went on to win the presidency. Harris moved to New Mexico that year and became a political science professor at the University of New Mexico. He wrote and edited more than a dozen books, mostly on politics and Congress. In 1999 he broadened his writings with a mystery set in Depression-era Oklahoma. Throughout his political career, Harris was a leading liberal voice for civil rights and anti-poverty programs to help minorities and the disadvantaged. Sen. Fred Harris of Oklahoma at a Democratic party commission meeting on March 1, 1969, in Washington. Credit: AP “Democrats everywhere will remember Fred for his unparalleled integrity and as a pioneer for instituting core progressive values of equity and opportunity for prosperity as core tenets of our party,” the Democratic Party of New Mexico said in a statement. Along with his first wife, LaDonna, a Comanche, he also was active in Native American issues. “I’ve always called myself a populist or progressive,” Harris said in a 1998 interview. “I’m against concentrated power. I don’t like the power of money in politics. I think we ought to have programs for the middle class and working class.” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham praised his work for their shared state and the nation. “In addition to being a highly accomplished politician and professor, he was a decent, honorable man who treated everyone with warmth, generosity, and good humor,” she said in a statement. “Sen. Harris was a lesson in leadership that public officials would be wise to emulate now and forever.” Harris was a member of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, the so-called Kerner Commission, appointed by then-President Lyndon Johnson to investigate the urban riots of the late 1960s. The commission’s groundbreaking report in 1968 declared, “our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white — separate and unequal.” Thirty years later, Harris co-wrote a report that concluded the commission’s “prophecy has come to pass.” “The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and minorities are suffering disproportionately,” said the report by Harris and Lynn A. Curtis, president of the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation, which continued the work of the commission. Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute said Harris rose to prominence in Congress as a “fiery populist.” “That resonates with people ... the notion of the average person against the elite,” Ornstein said. “Fred Harris had a real ability to articulate those concerns, particularly of the downtrodden.” In 1968, Harris served as co-chairman of the presidential campaign of then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey. He and others pressed Humphrey to use the convention to break with Johnson on the Vietnam War. But Humphrey waited to do so until late in the campaign, and narrowly lost to Republican Richard Nixon. “That was the worst year of my life, ’68. We had Dr. Martin Luther King killed. We had my Senate seatmate Robert Kennedy killed and then we had this terrible convention,” Harris said in 1996. “I left the convention — because of the terrible disorders and the way they had been handled and the failure to adopt a new peace platform — really downhearted.” After assuming the Democratic Party leadership post, Harris appointed commissions that recommended reforms in the procedures for selecting delegates and presidential nominees. While lauding the greater openness and diversity, he said there had been a side effect: “It’s much to the good. But the one result of it is that conventions today are ratifying conventions. So it’s hard to make them interesting.” “My own thought is they ought to be shortened to a couple of days. But they are still worth having, I think, as a way to adopt a platform, as a kind of pep rally, as a way to get people together in a kind of coalition-building,” he said. Harris was born Nov. 13, 1930, in a two-room farmhouse near Walters, in southwestern Oklahoma, about 15 miles from the Texas line. The home had no electricity, indoor toilet or running water. At age 5 he was working on the farm and received 10 cents a day to drive a horse in circles to supply power for a hay bailer. He worked part-time as a janitor and printer’s assistant to help for his education at University of Oklahoma. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1952, majoring in political science and history. He received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1954, and then moved to Lawton to practice. In 1956, he won election to the Oklahoma state Senate and served for eight years. In 1964, he launched his career in national politics in the race to replace Sen. Robert S. Kerr, who died in January 1963. Harris won the Democratic nomination in a runoff election against J. Howard Edmondson, who left the governorship to fill Kerr’s vacancy until the next election. In the general election, Harris defeated an Oklahoma sports legend — Charles “Bud” Wilkinson, who had coached OU football for 17 years. Harris won a six-year term in 1966 but left the Senate in 1972 when there were doubts that he, as a left-leaning Democrat, could win reelection. Harris married his high school sweetheart, LaDonna Vita Crawford, in 1949, and had three children, Kathryn, Byron and Laura. After the couple divorced, Harris married Margaret Elliston in 1983.

CDS Musa And His Exploits On War Against InsecurityGreen and Louisiana Tech win 85-79 in OT over Southern Illinois at Gulf Coast Showcase

What's New A busy bridge on the U.S.-Mexico border is set to undergo a $264 million overhaul aimed at streamlining traffic flow in and out of Brownsville, Texas. The General Services Administration (GSA) announced on Friday that it has awarded a contract of this value for the project to Alabama-based general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to work on the Brownsville-Gateway Land Port of Entry. Why It Matters The overhaul of the crossing—one of the busiest ports of entry between the U.S. and Mexico—is expected to improve border security and immigration enforcement by expanding inspection capabilities and streamlining operations. It comes as the United States braces for President-elect Donald Trump to enact a hard-line immigration agenda, with stricter border measures, leading to heightened concerns over mass deportations . What To Know Funded by federal infrastructure laws, the overhaul includes the use of low-carbon materials, enhancing efficiency at the critical trade and travel hub. Key upgrades include doubling the number of primary vehicle inspection lanes from five to 10 and expanding secondary inspection spaces with the addition of nine canopied lanes, bringing the total to 24. The project will also feature the construction of a 48,000 square foot U.S. Customs and Border Protection building, according to the GSA. By doubling the vehicle inspection lanes and increasing secondary inspection spaces, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can process a larger volume of vehicles and pedestrians more efficiently. This will help reduce congestion, ensuring that security checks are thorough but timely, preventing potential security threats from being overlooked in long wait times. The customs building and integration of non-intrusive inspection technologies further support the enforcement of immigration laws. With upgraded facilities, CBP will have improved resources to conduct inspections, as well canines and advanced technology to increase the effectiveness of immigration enforcement while maintaining trade flow. Located on nine acres in downtown Brownsville, the port processes approximately 92,000 passenger vehicles and 89,000 pedestrians monthly via the Gateway International Bridge, which connects with Matamoros in Mexico. It has been operating since the 1920s but has had limited renovations since the 1990s. The latest renovations will transform the port into an all-electric facility, incorporating water-saving measures and energy-efficient features, according to the GSA. The construction materials will help cut carbon emissions by up to 300 metric tons, according to the administration. This project uses $213.5 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and over $50 million from the Inflation Reduction Act, including $48.3 million for low-carbon construction materials like asphalt, concrete, glass and steel. What People Are Saying Republican Senator John Cornyn, of Texas, told Newsweek : "Now more than ever, it is critical that our nation's ports of entry are equipped with the resources and infrastructure needed to facilitate trade and strengthen border security. "This modernization project for the Brownsville-Gateway Land Port of Entry will improve facilities and lead to more efficient daily operations, including shortening wait times." CBP Acting Deputy Commissioner Pete Flores said : "This complete overhaul of the primary lanes and CBP administrative building infrastructure at Gateway is a vital, much-needed project that will provide our employees with the updated workspace essential to fulfilling our national and economic security mission. "This critical infrastructure project will enable CBP to be able to process a much larger volume of passenger vehicle and pedestrian traffic while still upholding the agency's priority border security mission through an effective deployment of CBP officers, canines, and non-intrusive inspection system technology." Democratic Congressman Vicente Gonzalez said: "Thanks to funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the modernization of the Brownsville-Gateway land port of entry is fantastic news for South Texas. "By enhancing security, shortening wait times, and supporting our growing demand for cross-border movement, we are ensuring Brownsville remains a competitive entrance for trade, tourism, and travel." What's Next Design work is set to begin in February 2025, with construction starting in summer 2026 and completion anticipated by late 2029.

ISRO is set to launch two satellites on Monday night from the Sriharikota spaceport to demonstrate docking and undocking of spacecraft in orbit, which will make India the fourth country in the world to achieve the feat. The Indian Space Research Organisation 's (ISRO) warhorse rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle ( PSLV ) will place the two satellites -- SDX01 and SDX02 -- in a 476-km circular orbit and attempt the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDEx) in the first week of January, the space agency officials said.

The SpaDEx mission is expected to be a stepping stone for India's future endeavours in space exploration which include getting rocks and soil from the moon on Earth, the proposed Bharatiya Antariksha Station and landing an astronaut on the lunar surface. Only the US, Russia and China have mastered space docking technologies. "The primary objective of the SpaDeX mission is to develop and demonstrate the technology needed for rendezvous, docking, and undocking of two small spacecraft (SDX01, which is the Chaser, and SDX02, the Target) in a low-Earth circular orbit," an ISRO official said.

"This capability is vital for India's lunar and interplanetary missions . Docking technology enables multi-launch missions and supports future human spaceflight," Singh said. After the demonstration of docking and undocking experiments, the two satellites will continue to orbit the Earth for standalone missions for two years. The SDX01 satellite is equipped with a High Resolution Camera (HRC) and SDX02 has two payloads -- Miniature Multispectral (MMX) payload and Radiation Monitor (RadMon). These payloads will provide high-resolution images, natural resource monitoring, vegetation studies and on-orbit radiation environment measurements which have numerous applications, ISRO said. The PSLV-C60 mission also carries 24 payloads from various ISRO labs, private start-ups and educational institutions for carrying out experiments in space. These 24 payloads are mounted on the fourth stage of the PSLV rocket which remains in orbit for a few weeks before falling back on the Earth. PS4-Orbital Experiment Module (POEM) provides an opportunity for the scientific community to carry out certain in-orbit microgravity experiments for an extended duration of up to three months using the platform, which otherwise would end up as space debris immediately after the mission objective of injecting the primary payloads of the mission.

With a focus on human rights, US policy toward Latin America under Jimmy Carter briefly tempered a long tradition of interventionism in a key sphere of American influence, analysts say. Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100, defied the furor of US conservatives to negotiate the handover of the Panama Canal to Panamanian control, suspended aid to multiple authoritarian governments in the region, and even attempted to normalize relations with Cuba. Carter’s resolve to chart a course toward democracy and diplomacy, however, was severely tested in Central America and Cuba, where he was forced to balance his human rights priorities with pressure from adversaries to combat the spread of communism amid the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. “Latin America was fundamental and his global policy was oriented toward human rights, democratic values and multilateral cooperation,” political analyst Michael Shifter of the Inter-American Dialogue, a think tank in Washington, told AFP. During his 1977-1981 administration, which was sandwiched between the Republican presidencies of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, the Democrat sought to take a step back from US alignment with right-wing dictatorships in Latin America. – Panama Canal – An important symbol of Carter’s approach was the signing of two treaties in 1977 to officially turn over the Panama Canal in 1999. “Jimmy Carter understood that if he did not return the canal to Panama, the relationship between the United States and Panama could lead to a new crisis in a country where Washington could not afford the luxury of instability,” said Luis Guillermo Solis, a political scientist and former president of Costa Rica. Carter called the decision, which was wildly unpopular back home, “the most difficult political challenge I ever had,” as he accepted Panama’s highest honor in 2016. He also hailed the move as “a notable achievement of moving toward democracy and freedom.” During his term, Carter opted not to support Nicaraguan strongman Anastasio Somoza, who was subsequently overthrown by the leftist Sandinista Front in 1979. But in El Salvador, the American president had to “make a very uncomfortable pact with the government,” said Shifter. To prevent communists from taking power, Carter resumed US military assistance for a junta which then became more radical, engaging in civilian massacres and plunging El Salvador into a long civil war. Carter took a critical approach to South American dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, suspending arms deliveries and imposing sanctions in some cases. But his efforts “did not achieve any progress in terms of democratization,” said Argentine political scientist Rosendo Fraga. – ‘Let’s go to the ball game’ – The American president also tried to normalize relations with Cuba 15 years after the missile crisis. He relaxed sanctions that had been in force since 1962, supported secret talks and enabled limited diplomatic representation in both countries. “With him, for the first time, the possibility of dialogue rather than confrontation as a framework for political relations opened up,” Jesus Arboleya, a former Cuban diplomat, told AFP. But in 1980, a mass exodus of 125,000 Cubans to the United States, with Fidel Castro’s blessing, created an unexpected crisis. It “hurt Carter politically with the swarm of unexpected immigrants,” said Jennifer McCoy, a professor of political science at Georgia State University. Castro continued to support Soviet-backed African governments and even deployed troops against Washington’s wishes, finally putting an end to the normalization process. However, more than 20 years later, Carter made a historic visit to Havana as ex-president, at the time becoming the highest-profile American politician to set foot on Cuban soil since 1959. During the 2002 visit, “he made a bold call for the US to lift its embargo, but he also called on Castro to embrace democratic opening,” said McCoy, who was part of the US delegation for the trip, during which Castro encouraged Carter to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Cuban All-Star baseball game. “Castro was sitting in the front row and we were afraid he would rise to give a long rebuttal to Carter’s speech. But he didn’t. He just said, ‘Let’s go to the ball game.'” In the years following Carter’s presidency, Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) would go on to resume a full-frontal confrontation with Cuba. Decades later, Barack Obama (2009-2017) opened a new phase of measured normalization, which Donald Trump (2017-2021) brought to an end. US President Joe Biden promised to review US policy toward Cuba, but hardened his stance after Havana cracked down on anti-government protests in 2021. “Carter showed that engagement and diplomacy are more fruitful than isolation,” McCoy said. bur-lp-rd-jb/lbc/mlr/bfm/sst/bbk With 2,400 staff representing 100 different nationalities, AFP covers the world as a leading global news agency.

New Delhi: Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday directed the Uttarakhand government that forensic visits and teams should be divided into three categories: serious, normal and very normal. Shah said this as he chaired a review meeting on the implementation of three new criminal laws in Uttarakhand in the presence of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami . The meeting reviewed the implementation and current status of various new provisions related to police, jails, courts, prosecution and forensics in Uttarakhand. Shah stressed on giving priority to 100% implementation of the new laws in all police stations and jails in areas where more FIRs are registered. Emphasising on the use of technology, the home minister said that more than one forensic mobile van should be available in every district of the state, according to an official statement. Shah directed that there should be regular and continuous monitoring of how many of the total 'Zero FIRs' registered have been brought to justice and how many FIRs have been transferred to the states. He said that the chief minister of Uttarakhand should review the progress of implementation of the three new laws every 15 days and the chief secretary and DGP once a week with the officials of all the departments concerned.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Taylor Swift once raved about the sweet potato casserole served at a New York City restaurant and now that recipe pops up every now and again at Thanksgiving. The holidays encourage many of us to try new recipes. Social media right now is flooded with recipes for appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Anyone making from TikTok? While we might not get to share a Thanksgiving feast with Swift — is your name Blake Lively? — or other celebrities beloved by Kansas City, we can eat like them. So here’s the recipe for that casserole Swift loved so much, and favorite family side dish recipes from Donna Kelce and Eric Stonestreet. Enjoy. Travis Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, seen here last year at her son's music festival, dined on a cheesesteak made by actor Bradley Cooper at QVC festivities in Las Vegas this week. (Emily Curiel/Kansas City Star/TNS) If we tried to guess Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have scarfed over the years, would it be in the hundreds? Thousands? Their mom has spoken often about the batches of holiday crescent rolls she has baked over the years. Based on the recipe that won the 1969 Pillsbury Bake-Off, , they’re now known as Mama Kelce’s Dinner Rolls. They blend the crescent roll pastry with marshmallows, cinnamon and sugar. We bet they didn’t last long enough in front of Travis and Jason for that debate. •1/4 cup granulated sugar •2 tablespoons Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon •2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) •16 large marshmallows •1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted •1/2 cup powdered sugar •1/2 teaspoon vanilla •2-3 teaspoons milk •1/4 cup chopped nuts Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 16 medium muffin cups with nonstick baking spray. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. Separate the dough into 16 triangles. For each roll, dip 1 marshmallow into melted butter; roll in the sugar mixture. Place marshmallow on the shortest side of a triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side and rolling to opposite point. Completely cover the marshmallow with the dough; firmly pinch edges to seal. Dip 1 end in remaining butter; place butter side down in muffin cup. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. When done, remove from the oven and let the puffs cool in the pan for 1 minute. Remove rolls from muffin cups; place on cooling racks set over waxed paper. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve warm.

(Tammy Ljungblad/Kansas City Star/TNS) Swift gushed about the sweet potato casserole served at Del Frisco’s Grille in New York City, a dish crowned with a crunchy candied pecan and oatmeal crumble. “I’ve never enjoyed anything with the word casserole in it ever before, but it’s basically sweet potatoes with this brown sugary crust,” she told InStyle. The media rushed to find the recipe, which Parade has . “Similar to T. Swift herself, we think this recipe is a mastermind, especially if you’ve been asked to bring the sweet potato side dish to this year’s Thanksgiving feast. It seriously begs the question: who needs pumpkin pie?” the magazine writes. •4 lbs sweet potatoes •1⁄3 cup oats •12 oz unsalted butter, divided •1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar •1⁄2 cup toasted pecans •1⁄2 cup granulated sugar •1 tsp kosher salt •2 tsp vanilla extract •4 large eggs, beaten Preheat oven to 375°F. 1. Scrub sweet potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork and wrap tightly in foil. Place on a sheet pan. Bake 90 minutes or until tender. Set aside until cool enough to handle. 2. Meanwhile, place oats in a food processor; process 1 minute. Add 4 oz butter, brown sugar and pecans; pulse five times to combine. Spread mixture on a baking sheet; bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, crumble. Bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. 3. Melt remaining 8 oz butter. Remove skin from cooled sweet potatoes. In a large bowl, whisk sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar and remaining ingredients until slightly lumpy. Transfer to a greased baking dish, smoothing surface evenly. Top with oat mixture. Bake 12 minutes or until heated through. •Sweet potato filling can be made up to 2 days in advance.

This article is based on an interview with senior Additional Secretary to the President, Saman Bandulasena. In his 41-year service Saman Bandusena also served as an SLAS officer since 1998. He was the Anuradhapura Divisional Secretary in the Northern Province (from 2021 to March 2024) and District Secretary, Vavuniya (2020/21) among various other posts he held. He holds a BSc in Bio – Science and an MBA in Business Administration. senior Additional Secretary to the President, Saman Bandulasena According to Sri Lanka’s history paddy cultivation had shown significant advancement during the reign of King Parakramabahu of Polonnaruwa (1153-1186). He constructed 163 large tanks, 2,376 small tanks and ponds, 3,910 canals and 165 dams. It is recorded that during this period, Sri Lanka was self-sufficient in paddy and even exported the surplus to other countries. However, the ancient agriculture system now faces many challenges due to environmental damage mainly the destruction of forest resources. As a result farmers encounter numerous problems, including water scarcity, reduced soil quality, lower production, pests, rising input costs and climate change. Earlier, a designated area of the village was allocated for chena cultivation, and the cultivation was alternated within this reserved area. The Kanathu method was a sustainable practice at the time. Under this method, the land cultivated in one year was left fallow in the following season and reused in subsequent years, maintaining a proper environmental balance, and fertility. Over time, the introduction of commercial agriculture, mechanisation, the use of agro chemicals and other factors led to significant deforestation. This degradation reached a point where the authorities could no longer manage or balance it effectively. In the Northern Province, particularly in the Jaffna District, fruit, vegetables, and cereal cultivation have been conducted systematically. Jaffna residents living on limited land, utilised water from wells through the Andia method. However, with mechanisation, some land degradation occurred. Currently, the rising costs of kerosene and electricity pose significant challenges to farmers. Environmental degradation and the use of chemical and fertiliser have led to an increase in cancer and kidney ailments. A sustainable solution to address the crisis is the need of the hour. Issues faced by the agriculture sector Returning to ancient cultivation methods is ideal to achieve sustainable agriculture. However, deforestation of limited forest areas this target seems increasingly impractical. Therefore, it would be more feasible to adopt Modern Agricultural Technology while minimising environmental damage. In agricultural pursuits, it is time to use modern technology to minimise issues and maximise the use of available resources. Encouraging / promoting exports i Minimising imports by developing import substitution products ii Increasing the number of Micro, Small, and Medium-scale Entrepreneurs (MSMEs) iii Increasing livelihoods To achieve these objectives, it is suggested leveraging the experience and research of the Provincial Department of Agriculture Northern Province gained through foreign funded projects such as the Agriculture sector Modernisation project and the Climate Smart Irrigated Agriculture project. The use of modern agricultural technology can help reduce imports and increase exports directly through the products and indirectly through the production of various by-products. Bandulasena said the solutions to these issues are as follows: i. Land Issue: Using modern technology consistently results in an income that is more than double that of traditional agriculture for all crops. This implies that less land is required compared to traditional methods. For instance, to achieve the income from one acre of chilli using modern technology, approximately seven acres would be needed to be cultivated using traditional methods. ii. Water Issue: Water scarcity is a significant problem in agriculture. Jaffna experiences low annual rainfall (approximately 1150 mm per year) and lacks sufficient ancient tanks to store rainwater. In traditional chilli cultivation, water is directed straight (flowing) to the plants, with modern technology and other considered crops use less than half the water needed by traditional methods. iii . Fertiliser Issue: The soil quality (Soil Health) in our country is currently very poor. This is because nutrients are continually removed from the soil due to harvesting and soil erosion and are not replenished at the same rate. Even when essential nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (are added, the amounts are often insufficient. In addition, rising market prices and less availability of chemical fertiliser have led to a gradual decline in fertiliser use. Almost every crop requires significantly less fertiliser when cultivated using modern technology. Traditional chilli cultivation requires 1,650 kg of fertiliser per acre, applied in multiple stages necessitating additional labour and time. In contrast, modern technology uses a limited amount of fertiliser integrated with irrigation, eliminating the need for extra labour or time. Only 188 kg of fertiliser is required per acre for chilli cultivation using modern technology, which is nine times less. iv. Labour Issue: In the past, agriculture was the main livelihood in our country, farming was a part of their lives and was passed down from generation to generation. However, due to declining profits and various other problems, many farmers are moving away from agriculture. There is currently a noticeable decline in youth participation in agriculture, as young people are less interested in traditional farming methods. They prefer to achieve higher incomes in a shorter period with less labour. Introducing modern technology to agriculture can address the labour shortage v. Weed Issue: Weed removal is a significant challenge in traditional agriculture. The use of weedicides incurs substantial costs and poses severe environmental and health risks, including cancer and kidney diseases. Agricultural technology However, modern agricultural technology mitigates these issues. For example, in chilli cultivation, weedicides are unnecessary as the ground is covered with polyethylene mulch. Crops such as red onion, passion fruit, papaya, and groundnut require weeding or weedicides only once, while other crops do not need weeding or weedicides at all. This approach reduces initial costs and increases profits. vi. Insect Issue – In chilli cultivation, insects such as Thrips, White-Flies, Aphids, Mites, and Pods drill worms pose significant challenges, often leading to extensive use of insecticides. Traditionally, farmers apply insecticides such as Carbosulfan, Thiamethoxam, Imidacloprid, Abamectin, Pymetrozine, Lufenuron, Fenobucarb, Azapet, Profenofos, Sulfur, Chlorfluazuron up to 40 times per acre. This approach not only incurs high costs but also necessitates the use of highly toxic chemicals, impacting both the environment and human health. vii. Market Issues and High Machinery Prices: Farmers not receiving a fair price for their products is a significant issue in agriculture today. To address these issues, the Agricultural Modernisation project has proposed the setting up of agricultural production companies, known as Unlisted Agriculture Companies (UACs). Currently, there are nine UACs operating in the Northern Province, each focusing on a specific crop. These companies offer a range of services to farmers, including the introduction of new technologies, ensuring fair prices for their produce, adding value to products, and providing machinery services at reasonable prices. They also supply essential inputs like quality seeds and fertiliser at affordable rates and offer advice on managing crop diseases. The UACs represent a promising solution to many of the challenges faced by farmers, including market access and machinery costs. However, the success and further strengthening of these companies requires continued Government support and guidance. The total cost per acre with the traditional method is Rs. 1,392,720 while using modern technology, it is Rs. 1,158,000. This shows that the cost of cultivation with modern technology is lower than with traditional methods. The fixed goods for modern technology last for more than eight years, reducing the actual cost per season to less than Rs. 300,000. This significantly increases the profit. In traditional cultivation, only 12,000 chilli plants are planted per acre, whereas, with modern technology, 26,000 plants can be grown under high-density conditions in the same area. There are 13 types of crops that have been identified and are planned for cultivation by ASMP in the Northern Province including the number of farmers and the area under cultivation. Currently, 3,665 acres are cultivated by 6,930 farmers. These 13 types of crops can be expanded to 24,170 acres by about 56,000 farmers. Using modern technology and assuming an average yield of 20 MT per acre, about 12,500 acres are required to meet the dry chilli demand. The annual consumption of green chilli in Sri Lanka is about 60,000 MT, which would require 3,000 acres if cultivated with modern technology. Therefore, a 15,500 acres cultivated with modern technology would suffice to meet the country’s green chilli and dry chilli requirements. Currently, 550 acres of chilli are cultivated by 2000 farmers under the Agriculture sector Modernisation Project (ASMP) in the Northern Province. The ASMP indicates that an additional 5,850 acres can be cultivated by 13,000 farmers in the Northern Province. If farmers are provided with the necessary facilities and this target is achieved, more than 50 percent of the required green chilli and dry chilli could be produced in the Northern Province. The remaining amount could be grown in the Northern Province or in the North-Central, Eastern, or other suitable nearby provinces. By providing technology to farmers who already have basic inputs and offering technical know-how and low-interest bank loans to other suitable farmers, Sri Lanka could achieve self-sufficiency in green and dry chilli production without burdening the Government. This would save approximately Rs 50 billion (≈166 million USD) and provide the public with poison-free chilli for consumption. By setting up Unlisted Farmer Companies for various crops, ensuring fair pricing for products, providing machinery at reasonable cost and adding value to the products, market issues and high machinery costs can be controlled. The minimal use of insecticides and weedicides boosts the demand for these products both locally and globally., The nine unlisted farmer companies in Jaffna are already established within the province, alongside other agriculture-related institutions and research centres. To enhance their contribution, the following recommendations are proposed: i. Upgrade and monitor Unlisted Farmer Companies (UFC) through collaboration with Government agreements. ii . Educate and train members of the UFC in marketing, packaging, pricing, financial literacy, storage, modern agricultural technology, value addition systems, and more. iii. Introduce and increase the number of UFC to support farmers, particularly those involved in Other Field Crops (OFCs). iv . Encourage credit institutions to provide credit facilities to individual farmers and farmer groups based on their needs. v. Encourage UFC to open outlets for the sale of fertiliser and other equipment used in modern technology at a fair price. vi. Orient youth entrepreneurs in agriculture through UFC and Government institutions, emphasising the use of modern technology. vii. Maximise the use of abandoned land and available water resources for food production through modern technology, and solar energy at its maximum. * Tables have beeen removedShare Tweet Share Share Email The world of meme coins is where crypto innovation meets pop culture, creating a unique blend of entertainment and investment opportunities.
