    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cost of production of one hectare is Kshs30,000. So, when you work out the yield of a farm at the rate of about 15 to 20 bags per acre, the minimum a farmer can sell is Kshs2,700 to break even. So, for a farmer to make profit you need to sell at the price of Kshs3,000. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the East African Community, it is only Kenya which produces wheat. Uganda and Tanzania do not produce wheat. Tanzania and Uganda produce rice. The duty on rice is 75 per cent. In the current budget, Tanzania has to reduce to 35 per cent their rice production. Agriculture being the backbone of the Kenyan economy, why is the Assistant Minister in a hurry to empower Eastern European farmers and allow the Kenyan farmer to go bankrupt because that is exactly what will happen?"
