# Sri Lanka rejects Chinese TSP fertilizer over quality concerns | EconomyNext

> Sri Lanka rejected a 36,000 metric ton consignment of Chinese Triple Super Phosphate after samples showed poor quality, according to Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera. The shipment had been delayed after Ukraine suspended fertilizer exports, and the rejection will likely delay TSP supply for the Yala season.
