    "content": "Committee. This House has passed the Warehouse Receipts System Bill, which will shape the manner in which the markets behave as far as cereals are concerned. I hope that the Ministry will, in the near future, first of all, address the issue of why food in this country is more expensive than the neighbourhood. This year, we have enjoyed the same rainfall as our neighbours. How come then that in the next two or so months, when all of us harvest maize, we will get cheaper maize from our neighbouring countries than we produce here? Those are some of the issues that we need to interrogate as the Senate. One of the main reasons is that our farmers are not capacitated in time. They do not get the inputs they require on time. The last season, you remember that issues were raised in this House regarding the lateness of the fertilizer and its distribution to the farmers. It actually came late. Those are some of the issues that the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation need to look at."
