    "content": "farmers who grow fruits in this country are not given enough support. I hope that this Bill will put in place measures to support such farmers. In addition to the formation of authorities at the two levels of Government, I encourage the Mover to ensure that the farmers are also encouraged by the Government to form co-operative societies through which they will sell their produce and buy farm inputs. It is not common for the Government to promote farming among the youth in our country. I hope that this Bill will empower the youth to do farming because of unemployment. They must be empowered. I am not talking about civic education alone, but they must be funded to undertake any kind of farming. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a policy in our country that 30 per cent of tenders must be allocated to the youth, women and persons with disabilities. Unfortunately, when they get these tenders, they cannot implement them because of lack of funds. So, I hope this Bill will empower youth to undertake farming activities. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
