    "content": "an orphan, the coconut tree is neglected. By extension, all these things that I have talked about earn this country foreign exchange. So, we must feed the cow that produces the milk. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, lastly, I know we have had challenges before, but they are not insurmountable. We have to address them and that is why I am asking this House to support this Motion. We have to support this Bill to ensure adequate funding and staffing of the Coconut Development Authority (CDA). We have to support this Motion to support research on the coconut tree so that we have agricultural extension workers advising the farmers on exactly how to produce to the maximum. We have to support this Motion to put in place an intensive and extensive marketing strategy both locally and internationally for the products and by-products. In addition, we have to provide funds specific to the growing of the coconut tree as an incentive to farmers. You can see that the coast region has donated to this country an entire 200,000 hectares because of this tree that earns this country foreign exchange. With civic education to make people aware of the various uses of the coconut plant, I want to urge this House and hon. Senators to support this Motion. I will call upon Sen. Nabwala to second."
