"content": "scaling down of other rice consuming MDAs, in my view, the KNTC has continued to discharge its role well. In addition, to further ensure sustainability of the project, the KNTC has devised various strategies for business development to enable more rice sales thereby curing the slow turnaround rate, which has inevitably led to the suspension of further procurement of rice from Mwea Rice Growers Multipurpose Co-operative Society. The strategy that the KNTC is currently pursing to expand its rice clientele base include packaging and re-branding programmes and investing in aggressive marketing outreach with a view to increasing its market reach and coverage. As a way of helping the farmers, it is important to compel the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), which has now assumed the role of Strategic Food Reserve (SFR) to provide for strategic food reserve resources for purchase of rice. Also, for the Government to speedily implement the Warehouse Receipt System Act to reduce, among other things, post-harvest loss and rice price fluctuation. Obviously, a warehouse receipt is an instrument which farmers can use to draw some finances against their stocks. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
