    "content": "import raw materials. The best way to amass our raw materials is through aggregation. Aggregation can only be done through the co-operative movement because our producers are small-holder. Giving money to this particular function is a move in the right direction because we shall consolidate and ensure that we have volumes which may guarantee investment. This will encourage the processing or the industrialisation part of the Big Four Agenda. On the other hand, we can also distribute input through the co-operatives and that can be done as a function of the co-operatives as one of the programmes. Today, fertilisers are distributed through the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB). If there were co-operatives that could be linked up to the NCPB, it would be easier and cheaper for farmers to acquire those fertilisers. Therefore, it would be easier and cheaper for them to increase production without incurring a lot of costs in transportation and management of those products. That is why having working programmes within the co-operative movement will be useful to enable our people to grow and eliminate poverty."
