    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. This is an extremely important Bill. In November last year, I had the opportunity to attend a conference in Lima Peru on Parliamentary Front against Hunger. At this conference, it was observed that between 20 to 50 per cent of the harvest in developing countries go to waste. Post-harvest risk could be reduced if warehouse receipts system was put in place. Post-harvest risk includes contamination by micro-organisms and physical damage. A lot is wasted. If you look at the value chain, you will realise that from production in the field to putting food on the table, there is a huge amount of waste that could be looked at and corrected by putting in place this particular system. There are processes that take place before food is put on the table. We have harvesting, handling, storage, processing, transportation and marketing. This will create a whole sector for employment opportunities for the youth, apart from setting standards which will be necessary for the provision of products that are competitive."
