    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) To improve agriculture in Western Province, my Ministry intends to undertake the following plans among others:- (i) Promote technology on new emerging crops such as oil palm, artemisia and vanilla. That will improve farm productivity, hence food security and incomes. (ii) Avail credit to sugar-cane farmers and out-grower organisations through the AFC for cane growing expansion and access road rehabilitation. (iii) To implement programmes and projects that will lead to overall empowerment of farmers for sustainable food productivity and thus improve livelihoods. These programmes will include, among others, NALEP-SIDA Njaa Marufuku among others. Finally, to improve delivery of extension services to the farmer. (b) The total amount of money given to the AFC branches in Western Province since 2003, is Kshs420.4 million. (c) The requirement for a farmer to access AFC loans are primarily two; project proposal and security."
