    "content": "I was saying it is high time we supported our farmers. When sugar-cane farmers are affected, all Kenyans are affected. That is because we all consume sugar. The price of sugar goes up quite often and yet, our farmers still undergo many frustrations. Therefore, I urge Members to also consider other types of farming now that we grow different crops. We need to expand our thinking and promote our farmers. We can do that by coming up with mechanisms to empower them. I also appreciate the budget with regard to agriculture. I realise that there is an allocation for crop management, empowerment of farmers, planning and support services and extensions. This is going to give our farmers good platform to improve themselves. As we fight for them to get their payments, it also gives them room to improve on their farming techniques and, in the end, production will be increased."
