    "content": "Therefore, even though this is a devolved function, the national Government has got responsibility to set policy, and deal with the fear that we had expressed - possible imports from distant countries into our market. We need to look at this strictly. The reason is that, you cannot do this for every commodity. Milk is different; it is crucial and has high demand elasticity. It means that as incomes grow, the demand for milk grows. This is demand for both raw milk and its various products. So, it is a commodity that grows with the economy. It is a commodity that has far reaching implications like job creation and enrichment of our diets; there is a good reason to look at milk, unlike, maybe, other commodities. So, I support this Motion strongly; I would like to urge my colleagues that we look at it a bit more broadly; we can look at the value chain for milk and this is going to be very important in all our counties in this country."
