    "content": "The drought caused destruction. The coastal people and those who grow coconut lost a lot. That is what Hon. Owen Baya is saying. In such a case, a responsible Government needs to look for ways of compensating farmers to bring them back on their feet. In this country, for you to grow crops and be involved in agriculture in a more progressive way, you borrow money from the bank. When you borrow money, put it in your farm and then you lose the entire crop, what happens? Banks will come for the security that you had placed as collateral. A number of times farmers have used their title deeds. Therefore, we are exposing farmers to possible auction by various financial institutions that advance loans to them in order to grow the coconut tree. This is not an idle prayer. We have evidence in this country where many farmers have previously benefited for a good reason. We are not saying that those farmers should not have benefited from Government grants or being bailed out as we usually call it."
