      abstract = {This paper empirically evaluates the performance of the  Sri Lanka’s agricultural
sector under policy reforms with  respect to the exchange rate implications. Under
the policy  reforms, the exchange rate reforms made considerable impact  on the
agriculture exports, input and food imports and  economic development. In our
analysis which used general  equilibrium growth accounting approach, the  real
contributions of agricultural exports, food imports  and fertilizer price reveals that
without the exchange rate  reform the contributions would have been really
detrimental  to the agricultural production and economy of Sri Lanka.  Therefore,
policy reform had a positive effect on Sri Lanka  Economy through the exchange rate
reform, though it had  negative impact on domestic food production sector and  related
small farmers.},
