    "content": "If you know about our economy, in fact, tea is among the first in terms of foreign exchange earner. In terms of the world market, if I am not wrong, we are number three in terms of export. So, if we are not creating an enabling ground where the farmer feels that he is appreciated by the Government to ensure that there are good returns from their farming, it will come a time when even our number three will be overtaken within the world market. Therefore, this initiative by my good friend, Sen Cheruiyot, will address all these concerns. I hope that Senators will support this initiative and ensure that the small-scale and the large-scale farmer will feel appreciated by the Government; will create an incentive for them, so that we can increase our tea production. We have 500,000 small- scale farmers, we should be aiming at increasing this number going forward. With those remarks, I support this Bill."
