Abstract: Considerable growth has been achieved in agricultural production, specifically in export crops in developing countries over the last few decades. However, now there are concerns that production growth may not be sustainable under current agricultural practices. One of the primary sustainability concerns in Sri Lanka, is that of productivity decline in plantation agriculture due to soil erosion.
