    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to comment on the response given by Hon. Mbiuki on Macadamia. I am not satisfied with the suggestion that raw Macadamia export was banned because of adding value. The value of what we get from farming is what you pay me. If I get more after I export raw Macadamia, that is better for me. I want to ask the Committee whether they managed to find out the number of factories which add value to Macadamia in our country. As far as I know, we only have one factory in our country. This factory will have a monopoly as far as buying of Macadamia is concerned and that limits the market. It is important for us to rethink the decision of banning the exportation of raw nuts because if farmers are not allowed to export on their own, that also limits their income. If there is no competition, I do not think there will be any value addition. The value will only go to businessmen, but not to the farmer. I disagree and wish the Committee could dig deeper to understand why the sale and exportation of Macadamia was banned. I do not think the true position is because of value addition."
