Sri Lanka's tea farmers are confronting a serious challenge.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is keen for the country to grow only organic food and is preventing farmers from using chemical fertilisers.
The farmers believe crops could fail because of the government's policy.
Rice, cinnamon and pepper growers are all in the same situation.
Herman Gunaratne, an expert tea maker, was initially advising the president.
He now worries that tea production will fall dramatically.
The Sri Lankan economy is in trouble.
Previous economic growth ended with the Coronavirus pandemic, and last year, the economy shrunk by three percent, while unemployment has risen.
The government has now stopped importing fertilisers and chemicals used in non-organic farming.
Ending the use of chemical fertilisers will mean a fall in tea production.
This will only make the economic situation worse, as Gunaratne explains.
After arguing against the President's organic farming policy, Gunaratne no longer advises the government.
He is still very concerned for the future.
Tea production generates over $1.25 billion for the country.
And Gunaratne believes the amount of tea grown could drop by 50 percent.
