“As the trade minister, we came to know that there was an egg problem in the last seven months. Discussed about this. In particular, we discussed with the Minister of Agriculture and various institutions and got their support. We learned that there is a 40% shortage of eggs in the country. Among them, a great effort is put on the child to put a control price on the eggs. Also imported shelled eggs. The first batch arrived at Colombo port today. Eggs can be given to people soon. This time we are talking about liquid eggs. But even the world’s top companies, Srilankan Airlines, use liquid egg to make food. We talked about an opportunity to import to this country as well. It is allowed. But there are no eggs in this parliament either. No eggs for two weeks now. “
