Wanahitaji korosho sana kule. Lakini kwa sababu mmea huu unatoka Pwani, haufanyiwi bidii. Kwa kuwa naona Serikali hii inazingatia mimea mingine, naomba ishughulikie sana korosho. Hii itainua Kenya kwa ujumla. Wengine wanapotoa chai na kahawa, na sisi tutoe korosho na Kenya itainuka."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will start with the edible oils. I had already mentioned that we have distributed 556 metric tonnes of sunflower this season across the country from the production of 200 acres of sunflower plantation. This is one of the key interventions that we are doing with ADC and everybody else this season to make sure that we have edible oils in the country. Actually, most of the seeds were multiplied in the ADC farms in Kitale. We bought it from Zambia and multiplied it at the Kenya Seed in ADC farms in Kitale. We are now distributing it across the country. So, Hon. Member, next season, you will see a lot of sunflowers. On minimum price, there was a ban on export of nut in shell last time. There was an agreement that we need to have a minimum price of Ksh100 that should be observed. If the locals do not pay Ksh100 that time, the condition was that we had the option of opening it up to competition for exportation of nut in shell. That is a condition. I understand that the price is the major concern of a farmer and what he or she gets. What matters most for us as a Government is value addition because it creates more jobs and other things. For a farmer, it does not matter whether the shells are being exported or value-added once he or she gets a fair price of, let us, say Ksh120. For our national interest, we have to promote value addition. I think that is the issue."

However, we are also interested in the welfare of the farmer. A farmer getting a fair price is my first priority. Then, the rest can happen. Although, whether we are exporting or adding value here is important, it is not the primary condition. The primary condition is the welfare of the farmers to get the maximum they can."

I know that is a new sector which has not matured like coffee and others. It will get there. That is why we are talking about making sure we have regulations to make the sector start getting a semblance of order. Currently, what is happening is disorderly."
