"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Motion in the sense that tea is now a leading foreign exchange earner in the country. We export tea to various countries, and earn the country a lot of foreign exchange. For that reason, therefore, we expect the tea farmers to be the best earners in this country, because they contribute a lot to our foreign exchange. A lot of exploitation is going on in the tea farms. If you go to the tea farms, you will see how those people earn their living. It is very bad! They live in deplorable conditions. This Motion, therefore, seeks to make sure that the tea farmers, countrywide, are going to benefit. The benefits should go to farmers themselves and not to the companies, the Government or even to brokers. We need to see very improved conditions for the tea farmers. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
