    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the ban by the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Development on macadamia nuts to curb the export of immature nuts. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Provide clarity on the criteria used by the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock Development to issue this directive. (2) State the measures in place to protect farmers from potential losses due to the ban, particularly considering that in most regions, the nuts ripen between April and September with harvest typically occurring from September to November. (3) Present evidence that the State Department for Agriculture consulted all relevant stakeholders, especially farmers, in making this decision, as envisioned by Article 232(1)(d) of the Constitution, including a clear indication of when these consultations took place. (4) Outline the steps taken by both the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) and the State Department for Agriculture to educate farmers at the county level on proper harvesting and storage practices to ensure the quality of the nuts. I had two statements; I do not know whether I should read the second one."
