Productive Economy and the Contribution of Agriculture
*Productive Economy and the Contribution of Agriculture – Tamileelam Resource Development Corporation*
The agricultural competition conducted by the Tamileelam Resource Development Corporation in 1992–1993 is important historical evidence reflecting the economic and agricultural development efforts that were underway in Tamileelam during that period.
This document reveals a period when agriculture was considered a primary sector in strengthening the domestic economy and creating self-sufficient agricultural development.
This agricultural competition was conducted with the aim of encouraging farmers in aspects such as increasing agricultural production, scientific cultivation, land and water resource management, and seed selection. The idea of promoting agricultural progress at the community level by identifying and appreciating farmers who followed best practices has been brought out through this.
It is a document that records the activities of the Tamileelam Resources Development Corporation, which attempted to create a sustainable economy based on domestic resources, despite the difficult circumstances created by the economic sanctions imposed by the government in the 1990s.
This announcement serves as an important historical document that helps in understanding the agricultural policies, development objectives and the contribution of farmers of that period.
The Tamil nation faced countless severe challenges during that struggle, such as starvation, unemployment, the resulting hardships, suicide attempts, substitution for essential needs, restructuring of production, transportation restrictions and storage shortages, continuous displacement of people, expulsion of people from Tamileelam, and production losses caused
All of them were overcome by far-sighted and well-planned and popularized plan implementations that enabled our people to recover from starvation and disasters.
Such action plans are historical evidence that it is necessary to ensure practical results rather than just talking about theories.
