"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. If there is a Member who comes from a non-sugar-producing area, but supports the sugar sector, that Member is none other than me. That is why I am here until the Bill is over to ensure that we support and bring sanity to the sugar sector. I can see Hon. (Dr) Oundo smiling. We have travelled and extensively discussed with all the stakeholders, including farmers, in the western belt region, and one thing that is clear is that the issue of zoning is a no-go zone. We only support the contracts between the miller and the farmer, if at all they enter into a contract, to develop the sugarcane, but competition in the sector should be allowed. For farmers to get their desired profits, zoning should not be allowed. We support the Committee’s amendments. We want to bring sanity to the sugar sector by not supporting express zoning."
