"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill that provides a good system for farmers. As we deliberate on this issue, we know the categories of farmers that we have. We have large-scale and small-scale farmers. I wish to speak on behalf of the horticultural and dairy farmers. With regard to dairy farmers, we need to have another element of value addition and marketing in this Bill. If we discuss about the cereals alone, what will happen to the dairy farmers and small-scale farmers who grow carrots, cabbages and sukumaw iki . Whenever we come up with a Bill like this one, it should cover all categories of farmers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy about this Bill, except that it excludes some farmers. I do not know if it will be possible to amend it to include the elements that I have mentioned. We could as well come up with another Bill to deal with marketing or value addition. We all know that we have the dairy farmers. Since most dairy farmers do not have storage facilities, we should think of value addition and marketing. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
