    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any wheat farmers or millers who have moved their investments from this country to neighbouring countries. However, I am aware that some millers are expanding their operations to the neighbouring countries. (b) Low taxation rates on wheat grain and flour in the neighbouring countries is luring some millers to open factories there. (c) My Ministry, in conjunction with wheat stakeholders, is restructuring the sub-sector to make it competitive through the following measures. (i) We have reduced production costs by zero-rating agricultural machinery and implements. (ii) We have intensified research which has introduced new, high yielding varieties. (iii) We have revitalized extension services through enhanced funding, staffing and facilitation. (iv) The Government sought and was granted COMESA safeguards for wheat flour up to May, 2007, subject to allowing a limited amount of imports from Egypt and Mauritius."
