    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the high cost of farm feeds. Dairy farming is crucial in ensuring food security and economic stability in the country. Sadly, the industry faces several challenges that have crippled the farmers, including the high cost of animal feeds, high veterinary charges, and changes in milk prices. The challenges have, in turn, decreased milk yields, thereby undermining the overall performance and sustainability of dairy farming in the country, specifically in Runyenjes, Embu County. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock regarding the following: 1. Statistics of milk production in Runyenjes Constituency in Embu County; 2. The measures being put in place to lower the cost of animal feeds that are required for dairy farming; and, 3. The initiatives being put in place to ensure high milk production in the country. Thank you."
