    "content": "In my view, the key to all this is we must go back and reorganise our extension work in agriculture. There is no way farmers are going to succeed if they do not get support on the ground where they are working. We saw those extension workers in khaki uniform as children. They were the backbone of our agricultural industry. We must go back there. Then we must add marketing. The people in Kwale are growing this crop and selling at about Kshs65 per kilogramme and yet in the world, the price is much higher. So, we must market them, find the markets, export them and value add them so that we can benefit from them maximally. Again, for farmers to work, we must support the cooperative movement. It is very difficult for a single farmer to export, but if we have a cooperative movement and remove corruption from the cooperative movement, it will go a long way. I support the rescheduling of this crop as proposed by the Mover. Thank you."
