    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I come from a constituency that would greatly benefit from this Bill. This Bill has the potential to address some of the challenges that our farmers have been experiencing when it comes to selling their produce in haste. Through this Bill, farmers will have an opportunity to store their produce and sell when prices stabilise or when the need arises. Farmers will also be able to store their produce, walk into banks and negotiate for some facilities to enable them wait until prices stabilise. In the past, farmers, especially where I come from, would sell their rice at a throwaway price because by the time they harvest their rice, they would have exhausted all their resources within the period of planting and taking care of that rice to harvesting. It will now be an opportunity for them to store their rice in groups, in co-operatives, in a well taken care of warehouse and be able to wait until prices stabilise."
