    "content": "Hon. Speaker, small-scale farmers in this country have suffered a lot, in terms of lack of competitiveness, because of the fragmentation of the land that they use. There are third parties who come in, and take advantage of small-scale farmers. Therefore, this Bill will provide or mobilise credit for small-scale holders so that after harvest, their commodities will be taken to warehouses where receipts will be issued. These receipts can be used as collateral to obtain credit from the bank, so that they can purchase input to prepare the land for another harvest. Apart from that, there are price fluctuations when the small-scale farmers harvest. Normally, the other traders take advantage of price fluctuation. They buy products at exploitative prices. So, if these storages are there, the small-scale farmers will store their products until a time when they will compete with large-scale farmers."
