Dec 27, Colombo: State Minister of Samurdhi, Household Economy, Micro Finance, Self-Employment and Business Development, Shehan Semasinghe says that steps have been taken to set up a rural trade network of 25,000 women entrepreneurs that will implement the government decisions as they are instead of a network of buyers that exploits the consumers, traders and farmers. The Minister is confident that this network of women entrepreneurs will create a strong distribution network in the face of epidemics such as Covid.
