    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we say that the wholesale package of potatoes should be 50 kilogrammes, we are not saying that potatoes cannot be sold at retail price in smaller packages. You can sell even a single potato if you want. You can sell in one or two kilogrammes. In the supermarkets you rarely find them in 50 kilogrammes. What we are saying is that the farmer will be selling the potatoes at wholesale price of a bag weighing 50 kilogrammes. We are not inventing. We are just following International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards. The ILO has standardized these bags for the purposes of introducing some humanity. Carrying a 130 kilogramme bag is dangerous for a person’s health. We want these regulations, because it has already been introduced by the Cabinet Secretary as a regulation, to be incorporated into law and strictly enforced, so that any person seen in this country transporting potatoes in bags of 50 kilogrammes and above should be arrested on the spot."
