    "content": "This subsidy made a significant contribution in the production of tea, in that the farmers were able to utilize and use more fertilizer than usual. I am disappointed that the Government is not able to see that this is a very important thing despite the fact that there are several levies on tea. Although, occasionally we are told that these levies do not contribute much on the cost that goes to the farmer because there are many, I am aware that these levies which are charged on tea make a significant reduction in the earnings of the farmer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still want to seek further clarification as to what the reasons, other than the economy, are. The tea itself is a great foreign exchange earner for this country and also contributes significantly to the economy of the country. I cannot see the reason why we cannot reimburse or put back some of these monies to enhance the earnings of tea. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, tea is the only plant in this country that finances research on the plant unlike all other crops. I know there is a significant amount of money that goes to Tea Research Foundation directly from the farmer. This kind of levies makes it justifiable that they should be a subsidy---"
