Abstract

Agriculture settlements have been the mainstream of Sri Lanka’s development agenda since the 1930s to 1980s. It has rich experiences, particularly in the planning and implementation stages, which later resulted in many issues in the schemes. Thus, this study aimed to review existing knowledge on developmental experiences during the planning and implementation stages of the agriculture settlement schemes in Sri Lanka. Here, the study applied the content analytical technique. The review commenced under four areas of the subject – 1) errors in settlement planning, 2) errors in the administrative mechanism, 3) problems related to economic returns, and 4) issues in the land legislation. In the concluding point of the review, the study exposed the importance of considering developmental experiences in the future planning of agriculture settlement schemes in the country.
