    "content": "Tea has played a very major role in the economy of this country. The small-scale tea producer has contributed a lot to this country. As it stands now, about 60 per cent of the total tea production in the country is by the small-scale producers. The Government needs to play a much leading role in the tea industry in this country. Our competitors in Sri Lanka and India, for example, their Governments play a very major role. For example, in Sri Lanka, there are two independent Ministries that control the production of tea. There is a full Ministry of Tea Production and another Ministry of Tea Marketing. This is because of the amount of foreign exchange tea earns in this country. It is my feeling that with the Government direct and serious involvement in the tea industry, our farmers will benefit a lot more than they are benefiting at the moment."
