    "content": "We know that many times farmers have been asking the Government to come to their aid to buy their produce. With this system in place, we believe there will be a series of licensed warehouses across the country where farmers will store their cereals. The system will assist farmers to store their produce in good condition. Again, the farmers will be protected from the fluctuation of prices of cereals. At harvesting time, the price of most cereals goes down. That is when the farmers do not get value for their harvest given the fact that they use a lot of farm inputs during the planting season. It costs farmers a lot of money to purchase farm inputs such as fertilisers. Therefore, this warehouse system will come to the aid of the farmers in terms of protecting them from excessive fluctuation of prices due to excessive production. This system has a sound legal protection in the sense that it can be used as an instrument of bargaining or be traded even in commodity exchange. I am impressed that this system will be driven by the private sector as opposed to the Government which is associated with low efficiencies. So, this system will assist the farmers to achieve value for their products. I support."
