    "content": "This is very important because I know that for most farmers, it is very easy to grow and that is where people get discouraged. For example, if you went to Kilifi and Kwale counties in December, there were lots of mangoes that were growing. This is also the season for pineapples. Then what happens? People go with these fruits along the roads. They are sold at the cheapest prices possible and some of the fruits rot in the farms. One has no option but to try and sell them off. Farmer just want people to buy. As much as you love mangoes, you also have a limitation as to the number of fruits that you can buy at that particular moment. We have had the case of Makueni County where they have been able to start industries. The Coast Development Authority at one point came up with fruit factories. They were finding innovative ways, for example, making mango juice. Regarding these mung beans, there are silos that are good for food storage. We saw this in case studies in Qatar and Dubai, where they have silos of maize and beans and everything else. Mung beans may not be a product that gets easily devalued in terms of the value chain, but when there is no proper way of storing it or making sure that there is value addition--- This is another area where Sen. Wambua might want to delve into, looking at value addition and the value chain ---"
