"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, Kenya Seed Company managed to plant only 22,266 hectares instead of 29,000 acres. During the long rains this year, the Kenya Seed Company had 15,400,000 kilogrammes of high altitude seed varieties against an average need of 17.5 million kilogrammes of seeds. There is a short fall of 2,000,000 kilogrammes which is being met by the other private companies. What is emerging is that most of our farmers do not want seeds from the other companies. We have varieties which are equivalent to what is being produced by the Kenya Seed Company but farmers do not want to buy that. I can assure this House that the percentage of what will be the short fall will be about 200,000 kilogrammes of seeds."
