"content": "Our farmers would be very happy if the NCPB opened the stores at a cost of Kshs5500 per bag. I can assure you that farmers will be ready to deliver their maize. In any case, the farm gate price we are selling our maize now is between Kshs4800 to Kshs5300. There is need to support farmers in this country. Worldwide, farmers are given subsidies to produce because farming in itself cannot be profitable and affordable and the cost of food cannot be affordable without giving subsidies to the farmers. I would also like the Committee to find out what happened to the strategic food reserves that we used to have in this country. Who changed the policy from storing food in the stores to keeping money in the accounts? That is why we find ourselves in this sorry situation."
