Traders at the Thambuttegama Economic Centre say they are currently forced to discard around 500 kilos of bananas every day.
They attribute this to a surplus of bananas in the market, coupled with a decrease in sales.
Traders report that a single ambul banana at the economic centre cannot even be sold for Rs. 10.
