    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am also a coffee farmer and so are most of my constituents. I will sit with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock to see whether there is something that can be done to salvage the coffee sector in this country. We know very well that we are done with the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). If there is no budgetary allocation, for whatever reasons that the Chair has alluded to, then it means coffee farmers will continue to suffer until the next financial year. I want to sit down with him and see what actions need to be taken immediately, even if it means fire-fighting. That way, coffee farmers will benefit from the CRI by getting information and extension services. We may have very good research reports about a particular species of coffee or disease and how to control it, but if this information does not reach the farmers, that will be an exercise in futility. It will be a waste of resources because taxpayers’ fund the CRI The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
