    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that lack of guaranteed and affordable credit facilities to small-scale farmers for cane development is one of the key constraints to increased sugar- cane production. (b) I confirm that the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) entered into a contract with Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) on 2nd November 2006 for a period of five years to manage loan services to sugar-cane farmers. Kshs500 million was set aside for loans to individual farmers. The target number of beneficiaries is any farmer with 2.5 acres of land. (c) I hereby table a list of 1,052 farmers who benefited from the disbursement of Kshs5.3 billion from the Sugar Development Fund (SDF) by the AFC cane development programme."
