    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister is reading some figures that do not relate to reality. I am a small-scale farmer, who grows some coffee. The Assistant Minister should come out clearly and spell out why production of coffee is at its lowest; the cost of inputs like fertilizer, chemicals and non-payment--- It is of no use giving us statistics when farmers are uprooting coffee trees. It is true that they are uprooting it! They are even uprooting tea plants, and it started in Othaya! The Minister for Agriculture should do an honourable job of visiting Othaya to tell the President that the problem is at his doorstep. We are uprooting coffee because there are no returns. The EU and other bodies keep on telling us not to subsidize farmers. The question is: When are farmers going to be supported by this Government by being given subsidies as is the case in Western countries?"
