    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another area that is of great concern is availability of fertilizer which is key in production. We have heard of a national accelerated programme and its effects. Those are the areas we should pursue more closely and avail whatever farmers want. We should reach as many farmers as possible, including those in the ASAL areas. The Government and other stakeholders should play their role and ensure that this Ministry achieves its goals. In the past, there was talk about the setting up of a factory to manufacture fertilizer in this country. I do not know the magic involved in the manufacture of fertilizer. I think we have sufficient technical know-how and we have always borrowed money to do other things. I do not know why we have not addressed the issue of setting up a fertilizer factory in this country. We can even do this as a public/private sector venture with the donors. Since this is a very important component, I would like the Ministry to explore the possibility of coming up with a proposal to this House for debate so that funding can be sourced towards the setting up of a fertilizer factory in this country."
