Farmers in Sri Lanka are protesting against a lack of fertiliser as the cultivation season gets under way.
The shortage follows a government decision to ban all agrochemicals.
The move is part of a clampdown on what it calls non-essential imports during a foreign currency crisis.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced the plan in May, saying he wanted to make farming 100 percent organic.
Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez reports.
