We have seen the Minister has been very active and he has really delivered. I want to particularly commend the Ministry for the subsidies that they gave on fertilizer. It has had a great impact on the farmers and I know that the farmers of Sotik have appreciated that reduction in fertilizer. I am sure it played a major role in the high yield of maize that we got this financial year."}
