"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Report. One of the things that we found in these sugarcane growing areas is the issue of governance. When there is poor governance, the sugar industry will continue to suffer. I think that the privatisation model we have taken is not enough. These millers must revert to the actual farmers just like the tea farmers have taken over tea factories. I would like to persuade Hon. Salasya that the zoning that they want to introduce will kill the industry. This is because you will have a farmer who wants to take his sugarcane to a certain factory but cannot get the proceeds. This will cause them to suffer. What we got from the people on the ground is that they want us to liberalise the industry so that we are able to fetch better markets and kill the monopoly that has been happening. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
