Digital registration for fruit traders has commenced in Anuradhapura. This process is part of the national “Poison-free Fruits for Children” programme. The initiative aims to raise awareness among fruit traders, producers, and farmers about scientifically approved and safe fruit-ripening methods. Authorities plan to take strict legal action against those using unsafe methods starting in April 2027.
