"content": "Research is very key. We should even do mapping of soil samples, such that farmers who want to grow purple tea and the ordinary tea may know what to grow. Farmers even in my own county, for example, should have somebody to tell them the type of soil that is best for growing purple tea; be it loam soil, red soil or clay soil. We need this research to be done extensively such that we know the acidity is required. Madam Temporary Speaker, let me now address myself to the composition of the board of the authority. This is where I want to thank Sen. Cheruiyot for keenly looking into this. This is because everywhere you go, whether a farmers’ meeting, outgrowers’ meeting or tea farmers, the only issue they insist on is, “we do not have a voice, we want to have a voice, and we want to be heard.” Because the way the Kenya Tea Development Agency is composed, does not give a proper voice to farmers."
