FAO implemented early cash transfers in Sri Lanka to support 8,750 smallholder farmers affected by economic crisis and fertilizer shortages. This anticipatory action aimed to safeguard livelihoods and ensure food production ahead of expected shortages. Green gram cultivation was prioritized due to its low input needs and nutritional value. The intervention emphasized women-headed and low-resource households, linking support to broader resilience and nutrition goals.
