    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Captain is the title; I am a pilot by profession. I rise to second this Motion. Cashew nut is grown majorly in Lamu, Kilifi, Kwale, with Vumbe and Sadan in Lamu East producing the best quality cashew nut in the country. I take this opportunity to congratulate these farmers who I represent. Even with this great quality, these farmers face immense challenges such as brokers who pay them low prices, hampering the growth of the sector. Kenya produces 10,000 metric tonnes valued at Kshs264 million, with Lamu County producing 8,000 metric tonnes, representing 80 per cent of what Kenya produces. The country, however, has a potential to produce more than 63,000 metric tonnes valued at Kshs1 billion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this represents a deficit because of the under- production worth Kshs736 million. This is a shame to our country that has a 40 per cent rate of unemployment. If we can achieve this deficit alone, we could make a great step towards the realisation of the Big Four Agenda."
