"content": "One of the elements is research into coffee diseases that may affect farmers, provision of fertilizers and farming input. It is important for farmers to be educated on the picking of the cherries, drying them up and even carrying them to the marketing point. The movement of the coffee from point A to B is very critical because this is a high value commodity. Coffee is subject to thievery by cartels who have not learnt to farm and earn a living through their sweat. They just want to carry away the very little that farmers should earn from their coffee. I believe it is important that any money coming should be a direct injection to the farmer. I like the idea in the Bill where it talks about value addition. When I travel today, I like buying tea that is made in Kenya. It is pride. When you visit a country and they receive it, you can see a broad smile in their eyes. It is one way of marketing our product. I would like to see a similar thing when you are carrying coffee made in Kenya, so that is carries that name."
