    "content": "We cannot say day-in-day-out that we want to grow our economy, but we do not feed the money into the sectors that support the people that we represent here, one of it being coffee. I hope even as we support the reviving of the CRI by empowering it, we will also get the Committee to look at other areas that focus on production. Many of the reports that come here are generated by coffee traders and middlemen, but the farmers’ voice has not been properly heard. We need the Committee to bring forward the voice of the coffee farmer in the area of research, seedlings and empowerment, so that we can revitalise that sector. Many people have said in the past that the youth do not to grow tea and coffee. The reason they are not going into these crops is because they are not sure of profits. Our parents started growing coffee when they were young and because they were getting returns from the crop, they continued focusing on it and even on the production of tea and coffee. We need to make coffee and tea growing as well as livestock keeping profitable. We need interventions when necessary without waiting until our livestock have died and then we rush."
