Improvements in
teaching, research, and
outreach of agriculture
in Sn Lanka, formerly
Ceylon, will be the goal
of several Penn State
faculty members over
the next five years
Headquarters will be
the University of
Peradeniya near
Kenday, the third
largest city on this
tropical island.
Largely an
agricultural nation, Sn
Lanka imports large
amounts of food,
especially rice The
government has given
high priority to self
sufficiency in food
production, says Robert
H McAlexander,
director of international
programs at Penn
State’s College of
Agriculture
Current programs at
the University of
Peradeniya stress
teaching, with minimal
research and extension

Personnel in Penn
State’s Departments of

From years of in

greatest potential for
making long-range
impacts at minimal

agriculture and food

nder commented
He added the
governments of
developing countries
must make a com

priority to agriculture
and to education a
decision often lacking
About 70 percent of
the Sn Lankans live in
rural areas The major
agricultural exports are
tea, rubber, and
coconuts These account
for 70 percent of the
foreign exchange
earnings, made up 30
percent of the national
income, and give em

of the work force
A considerable
amount of rice is grown
However, most of the

plots involving a large
amount of human labor
