"content": "I have no good reason to support the idea of having taxation on tea alone in order to finance research. This kind of taxation is punitive to the farmer and I think the way to assist the farmer is to exempt them from this kind of tax which is needless. This kind of money accruing from this tax can be sourced from elsewhere rather than punishing the already punished farmer. The world over, we are moving towards a liberalized market. I want to suggest on matters to do with tea and coffee, this area be 100 per cent liberalized so that the forces in the market place control the prices of tea and whatever is accruing from this goes directly to the farmer. The Government should step in and assist the farmer in the various possible ways as suggested above in order to have a better take home. I support the Motion."
