    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support this policy. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries used to support farmers in the 1970s and 1980s. It was wonderful. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries failed the day they withdrew the agricultural officers who used to advise farmers on how to conduct farming. If we can remember, we used to have agricultural officers who used to move round engaging farmers, advising them and telling them which is the best crop for which area. Today, farmers lack that support and advise. Every farmer today undertakes his or her own ways of farming without that knowledge. When it comes to livestock, we used to have cattle dips. Today, we do not have them. If we are to implement this policy successfully, we must have highly qualified agricultural officers in this country. We rarely see them out there to engage farmers and advise them on the best farming techniques."
