    "content": "I want to speak on three things. First, I firmly believe that our farmers should have complete freedom to grow and sale sugarcane to millers of their choice. We can regulate the sector and follow the best practices. It is perfectly legal if a farmer chooses to contract a particular miller for off-take of the sugarcane. However, we should support such farmers by having a register at the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB), where all the millers register the contracted farmers. That way, everybody will know which farmer is contracted by which miller. We should also allow KSB to prepare a framework of contracts between farmers and millers. Many farmers may not afford lawyers so there should be a standard framework agreement which a farmer will sign with the miller. This will be good but when a farmer chooses not to contract a miller, he should be free not to sell his or her sugarcane to the three millers. Restricting competition to three millers is not different from one miller, which is a monopoly. If they are two millers, it is a duopoly and three is an oligopoly."
