    "content": "By registering the farmers, we will get a database which the Government will use to promote the formation of organisations. As we know, our farmers are small-scale farmers. So, we need to bring them together to form an association or cooperative so that they can get economies of scale, without which these farmers will always feel short-changed and will never get the full value of their efforts or labour. For instance, in my constituency, farmers grow tomatoes and it is every small farmer for him or herself. So, if these farmers form groups to get resources and access markets together, when they want to buy inputs they can do so as an institution or organisation. As they buy in bulk, they will spend less money. So, without such organisations our farmers will never get the true value of their efforts."
