The crop pricing service provides access to wholesale price information collected from major market places and economic centers on a daily basis.



The app provides information in all three languages (English, Sinhala and Tamil) in an easily understandable manner, through text and multimedia contents. Govi Mithuru is continuously updated to ensure that farmers have access to the latest information, with timely updates to both existing content and information on a wider range of crops.
