    "content": "The question of production and means of transportation and the organisation must be very critical. The question of processing is value addition is important. When you are adding value, how much do you plough back to the farmer? That is where it is contentious. That is where we have problems today even in the tea industry. Today, if a tea farmer delivers tea leaves to the factory, it is being processed because the auction market is in Mombasa and the transportation cost are very high. The transport person is the one who takes the cream. The auction market or the people who are auctioning the tea on behalf of the farmers take particular percentage. There are taxes that also levied left, right and centre. This is what makes the tea industry unattractive at the moment because the farmers are not getting their returns for their tea that they expect as farmers."
