    "content": "Hon. Speaker, without a deliberate and strategic determination to address the productivity challenges in the agricultural sector and reverse the decline in our exports through value addition, our third thematic goal of accelerating inclusive growth for economic transformation will not be achieved. A sustainable economic transformation strategy must, at the initial stage, embrace sectors in which majority of our people derive their livelihoods. Agriculture is best positioned to open up opportunities across the country and sustain equitable development and prosperity. This will largely depend on unlocking the potential of the sector through active participation of the private sector, through value-chain. The expansion of agricultural output will also increase food supplies, reduce food prices and bring down the cost of living, create employment and promote overall rural development. Through this Budget, we are rolling out a model farm covering 10,000 acres, as part of one million acre irrigation project at Galana Ranch."
