    "content": "I know there was a proposal in the Finance Bill to exempt agricultural pest control products from tax. I saw that the Committee agreed with the stakeholders who said that instead of exempting, it should be zero-rated. If you are going to achieve food security, then it would be very important that farm inputs are zero-rated. At the same time, the quality of the products, especially the agricultural pest control products; should be given first priority. On one hand, we can be dealing with zero-rating agricultural pest control products so that we have our agriculture developing. We also have health as an item in the Big Four Agenda. One of the reasons why people are suffering a lot even from the cancer that we see today is the use of such products, especially when the quality of those products is not controlled. I would like to submit that as we do this let us also look at the quality of the products that are brought into the country."
