    "content": "What we are dealing with here is not just cashew nuts. We are looking at a global problem of our agricultural products including cotton in the Nyanza region. When we were growing up, we used to pick cotton and get money immediately. We had industries such as KICOMI that would process cotton, but when the floodgates were opened for import of second hand clothes, the industries went down. The KICOMI and RIVATEX are trying to revive now. We must look at it as seriously as possible. Look at what has happened to sugarcane and the sugar belt. The industries are on their knees yet we are importing an avalanche of sugar. We are told that we have sugar in this country that is enough to sustain us for five years. What will happen to sugarcane farmers? I am just using the platform of this Motion to say that we need to deal with this issue."
