Chinese ‘bacteria-infected’ fertilizer sparks diplomatic row

Sri Lanka has initiated a diplomatic conflict with China by banning a shipment of Chinese organic fertilizer due to health concerns. The Sri Lankan government, having shifted to organic fertilizers, found dangerous bacteria in the shipment and halted a $9 million payment. In response, China blacklisted the Sri Lankan bank involved. The Chinese company refused to take back the cargo, leading to a standoff. Sri Lankan farmers are protesting, fearing a reduced harvest due to the fertilizer shortage.
