    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am winding up. The way farmers have been handled this year is very bad. They are told to carry their own bags because they cannot aggregate. The large-scale farmers have also been denied the opportunity and can only take their 400 bags which is four lorries. The small-scale farmers are the victims of all these. This is because if a farmer has ten bags, they are supposed to put them in a trailer and take them to the NCPB which is 20 kilometers away and the same price crashes down. If they aggregate between themselves, there is the cumbersome nature of delivering one lorry while each farmer has 20 bags and have to produce all the five titles and come up with identification. Therefore, the cost of the lorry will be exorbitant. We need to rearrange how we do our things. I hope the NCPB and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation will take the farmer seriously so that they can deal with farming as something that is beneficial to the country and not to themselves. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to move and ask, the Vice Chairperson, Sen. Wetangula to second. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
