    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is hard to introduce amendments at the Third Stage. We will bring them at the Committee stage after talks with the Committee and the Ministry. The President addressed some of them when he talked recently and there was a lot of expectation from the tea farmers. He said that 90 days after the delivery of the green leaves, we expect payment of at least 50 per cent to the farmers. ` However, those are the issues that ought to be looked into because the farmers get frustrated and we kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Somebody talked about liberalisation. Frequent changes in policy and liberalisation of the agriculture sector create unnecessary stresses in the market. So, we need to ensure there is stability and that changes are not done so frequently to cause confusion to the end markets that buy our commodity. Inconsistency hurts the farmers."
