    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been encouraging many of our youth to take up agriculture. Many of them in my county took up tea farming. However, they are in a worse place than when they started because of the many cartels. The major problem that tea farmers have is the cartels along the value chain. Clause 24 of the Bill that deals with the auctioning is important because the farmers need to know who the brokers are, the packers are and the operators. Such a move would go a long way to ensure that farmers are on the know. Currently, tea farmers do not even know the brokers for their tea in the factories. There is a lot of taxation tea sector. Many of our farmers are worried that tea is taxed to the extent that they earn very meager amounts of money. The amount of money they earn is not enough to even recoup what they put in in terms of fertilizer and labour."
