    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the world coffee prices have been rising significantly for the last three years, steadily raising the country's earnings. (b) I am further aware that coffee farmers in Kenya have not been reaping good returns from coffee earnings as deserved. (c) My Ministry, together with other stakeholders, is undertaking the following measures to promote coffee in the international market to fetch better prices. (i) Developing a Kenya coffee brand code. (ii) Undertaking a rigorous grower sensitisation programme. (iii) We have already allocated Kshs500 million for coffee improvement under the EU- funded quality coffee production. The Kshs500 million will also be used for production and commercialisation, capacity building and research for the next two years. (iv) As an intervention measure, we have written off Kshs3.2 billion worth of loans which were giving farmers a lot of problems."
