"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Khaniri. It is very clear that COVID-19 has had a terrible impact on all forms of life. A case that is less spoken about is its effects on food security. Even before the pandemic started, there were already locusts that had invaded parts of our country and affected production of food. During this COVID-19 time, we have had curfews all over and this has had a toll on our farmers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many times when farmers have been transporting. I know of farmers in Gambogi, where we come from and my uncles are. They would transport food such as vegetables and sweat potatoes from Gambogi all the way to Gikomba, so that they could be sold at wholesale at around 4.00 a.m. However, with the curfew, they were not able to do that. People had been transporting avocadoes. They have not been able to do that just because of COVID-19. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
