    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the Petition on animal feeds import in this country and their prices. Farmers in this country will always import animal feeds because of the high cost. Why do these farmers import from foreign countries? This is because our neighboring countries governments are interested in their farmers and that is why farm feeds are very favorable in those countries. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock should recommend that the Government lowers taxes on the animal feeds ingredients, so farmers in this country can be encouraged to produce more. Secondly, farming equipment is very expensive and the Government has raised importation taxes of these equipment. There is urgent need to reduce farm machinery taxes, so our farmers can farm well and animal feeds prices can be reduced. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
