    "content": "Most importantly, is that the gazettement of this crop would trigger other processes which are very crucial and which will lead to benefits to the farmers of Kwale and the Coast region. It will trigger marketing processes, distribution, transportation, promotion and, most importantly, even value addition. We want value addition to be done right here in Kenya before they are exported. Another important thing is that this crop does well in warm humid areas with temperatures of about 32 to 38 degrees Celsius. We know many of our ASAL areas are some of the areas which can benefit from this crop. Therefore, this is a very important amendment and I want to encourage the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to continually look for such kind of crops. One crop that I really vouch for is the bamboo tree which has so many benefits, but it is not classified as a crop. That is one of the drops that I would urge the Committee to consider pushing the ministry to include. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this crop will be listed under part II of that schedule which are crops."
