Temproary Deputy Chairlady, one of the biggest determinants of the quality of maize is the quality of the maize seed. The biggest cost element in maize production is agro-chemicals. Therefore, if we do not exempt agro- chemicals from this tax, we shall be negating the gains of exempting maize and flour. I urge hon. Members to support this very meaningful amendment. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady."}
