    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reading this Statement on behalf of Sen. Mundigi the Senator for Embu County. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the state of Macadamia nuts production and marketing in Kenya. In the Statement the committee should - (1) State the justification for the blanket ban on export of raw macadamia nuts issued by the government in the year 2009 an indicate whether there are any plans to lift the ban; (2) State measures that have been put in in place by the Government, if any, to avoid price fluctuations of raw Macadamia Nuts, which at times yield as little as Kshs30 per kilogram. (3) Outline the steps the Government is taking to support the Macadamia sector in terms of research, funding and marketing initiatives to ensure Kenya's competitiveness in the global Macadamia market; (4) Provide information on whether local Macadamia nuts companies have the capacity to process and market the nuts for the small-scale farmers; and finally, (5) Inform the Senate of the steps being taken to boost income from exports in a free market, considering that the Agriculture and Food Authority has lowered the per kilogram price of the net from Kshs200 to Kshs30."
