    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to thank hon. Members for the tremendous support they have given to the Ministry of Agriculture Vote. Let me single out the suggestions that have been made on the Floor of the House for increment of budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Agriculture. Let me underscore that if we want to grow this economy at 10 per cent, all we need to do is to grow the agricultural sector at 10 per cent. It is as simple as that. To be able to do that, we must invest human and financial resources in this sector. I want to inform the House that we have a lot of human resource on board and out there. If we get additional funding, we should be able to access or change the trend of our economy by changing the status of the agricultural sector. In the course of this year, I will be bringing to this House another Bill for the establishment of an Agricultural Development Fund so that we have specific funding for the agricultural sector, especially priority projects that we believe can stimulate the economy for food security, job creation and poverty eradication."
