    "content": "On the strategic food reserves, the continued post-production loss of agricultural produce in this country is something we need to lament about. Over 40 per cent post-harvest loss is way too high. This situation needs to be dealt with including the loss of things like milk, which we have been lobbying for. Bumper harvest of any food item should be in the strategic food reserves. We no longer just deal with grains and cereals. We also deal with other products that are in high supply in some of the counties. My own county of Nyeri still has a lot of potential for dairy farming, including milk, which should be part of the strategic food reserves. It would be a good idea so that when there is no enough food, we have milk reserves that can then be supplied to the counties that need them. We need to learn lessons from countries like Israel and Egypt. County governments need to invest in these areas. Every county must have a very strong emergency response to deal with situations like these. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion."
