    "content": "(c) That the mung bean should be among the crops that are sold to the State’s Strategic Food Reserve. (d) That there is need to increase capacity and resources towards research in the pulses industry. Although the Bill requires the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) to establish linkages with international research agencies for the adoption of best mung bean farming and processing practices, there is need for the Senate to lobby for more resources to be set aside for programmes under the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO). This will ensure that the country develops the best seeds.\\ (e) That despite the farmer’s efforts to produce good quality mung beans, they are faced with marketing challenges. The Committee notes that the Bill also requires the Agriculture and Food Authority to promote access to international markets. This would go a long way in ensuring that farmers get value for their efforts."
