    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. First and foremost, let me thank my colleague, Member for Tinderet, for bringing this Motion which is very critical. Sugar-cane farmers have been silent, but they are suffering silently. It is about time that their plight is made public. As rightfully said by my colleague from Sigowet/Soin, those farmers who are either doing large-scale or small-scale farming have gone through a lot. First and foremost, we need to regularise the relationship with the millers. We need to set parameters and laws on how they engage with the millers. As it stands now, the bargaining power rests entirely on the millers. Our farmers have no say whatsoever. They cannot bargain or sit on the table with the millers on equal footing. We need to come to their rescue. In that regard, I urge the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to come to the rescue of those farmers."
