    "content": "If you look at the records which exist in this country, you will find that nearly 12 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) comes from livestock and livestock products. That is an enormous contribution to the GDP and the economy of this nation. With the creation of this board, and with the ailing of other agricultural activities like crop farming, this one will increase the GDP from 12 to nearly 30 per cent as envisaged. So, if this board is created, it will improve the economy of this country. This is a new frontier. The Chairman, Departmental Committee for Agriculture Livestock, from his experience has said that most of the agricultural boards have been ailing. The cashew nut and coconut boards have collapsed. If you look at all crops such as tea and coffee, you will find that all the boards have been created to improve the marketing of those products, and yet they seem to have a problem. Over the years, we have not had a livestock marketing board created for that purpose, and so this board is very timely. It is going to support the people from this region and the country at large."
