    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. This is especially based on the issue of food security, food diversity and opening up the export market for processed potatoes. This will create employment. The key area is research. Different types of potatoes grow in different areas. We need research to identify the correct material for the correct places. Further to that, if you notice in this country whenever there is a glut of potatoes, the prices come down so drastically and the farmers earn little. When there is a shortage, the prices shoot up so much and you cannot even afford a plate of chips. If we did our research properly and used appropriate technology, we can have a situation where we freeze-dry the potatoes or use dehydration to dry them so that at the times of need, we have enough. If preserved that way, we can also export. The potato industry has a very huge potential to provide not just food security but also wide employment opportunities and also satisfy the export market. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
