The Minister said to local radio channel Hiru FM that 50 acres each would be allocated to 250 selected local businessmen.
The land is to be allocated to the businessmen for agricultural, animal husbandry and industrial projects, said the Minister.
The farmers suspect that this can be a move to offer valuable farmlands to businessman close to the government while the young generations of the Mahaweli colonizers face a severe problem of scarcity of land for farming.
