    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.483/2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries: (i) Considering the drought ravaging several parts of the country, could the Cabinet Secretary clarify whether the Government intends to purchase maize from farmers currently experiencing a bumper harvest for fortification of the Strategic Food Reserve (SFR)? (ii) How much money has the Government allocated towards purchase of maize from farmers under the SFR and could the Cabinet Secretary confirm the preparedness of the National Cereals and Produce Board to purchase maize from farmers as an emergency intervention? (iii) What is the quantity of maize that the Government is planning to purchase from farmers and at what prices? (iv) What is the quantity of maize currently stored in silos countrywide, and how much has been used under SFR to mitigate the current drought crisis? (v) In view of the persistent rains that typically cause post-harvest losses, is the Government going to provide free maize/grain drying services to farmers to avert the post-harvest losses?
