    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as part of our regional obligations as members of the COMESA, other member states, specifically Mauritius and Egypt, did prevail upon the committee in Kigali to give certain concessions. They gave concessions for limited amounts of wheat; that is, 1,200 metric tonnes from Mauritius, and 16,000 tonnes from Egypt. We also agitated for our farmers by stating categorically that our sector was not competitive and developed enough to compete in a liberalised economy. Therefore, COMESA directed that a study be undertaken. The results of that study, which has now been finalised, will be given at the next meeting. If the study is positive, then we will ask for another four years so that we can allow our sub-sector to grow."
