    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is now procuring fertilizers, which is not its core mandate; cognizant of the fact that this has led to delays in importation and procurement of the necessary inputs for farmers in a timely manner; noting with concern that fertilizers are arriving after the planting season; deeply concerned that this is affecting food security in the country as fertilizers are key inputs in farming; also noting that, that lack of input is affecting families and impoverishing farmers; this House urges the Government to set up a Fertilizers Board to manage issues of fertilizers and other farming inputs while offering subsidized inputs to farmers and also to fast-track the process of setting up a factory to produce fertilizers and other farming inputs locally in the long-run."
