    "content": "That is one of the reasons behind the feedlots system. When the South Africans and people from Jordan fly in tomorrow, we are able to show them where our meat will be coming from, whether it is in Isiolo, Turkana or wherever it is. They will be able to see that. Secondly, the export markets for meat in Middle East and United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the biggest markets for our beef. In order to ensure that there is quality and safety in our beef, we have now operationalized nine export slaughterhouses in the country so that they are able to comply with the standards that are required. This whole idea is towards being able to finish our bit properly so that our access to the foreign markets is achieved. Ten days ago, a team came back from Uruguay. We had sent a team of farmers, storekeepers just as I did with the issue of tea. Our livestock keepers and the Ministry went all the way to Uruguay to visit and learn what the requirements of access for beef produce were to the European Union (EU) markets so that we can at least ensure that what we produce is market targeted. Once we comply with their requirements on production, then our market is properly assured and our farmers will be happy. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you. I am losing my voice because I have a cold."
