    "content": "capacity to grow our own because we have enough land. Some of us are farmers, and we can impart this knowledge to others through extension officers. A few decades ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock used to promote production of crops like cotton in specific regions. The cotton would then be harvested and sold to manufacturers like Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI) and Raymond Woollen Mills (Kenya) Ltd, as it was then known. The extension officers will, therefore, be able to advise farmers on what to plant, bearing in mind the type and duration it will take to harvest. For instance, Peru, the second-largest producer and exporter of avocado, is our largest competitor. An extension officer can advise a farmer on the type of avocado to plant and the best time to plant it so as to harvest when the Peru avocados are not yet in the market, thereby getting a premium market price. This Bill is long overdue and I fully support it."
