"content": "At times, the auctioning process becomes very tricky even for the brokers and the farmers to make money out of tea, which is a very expensive crop to manage in terms of taking care of it to get the desired results. There are even labour issues involving tea and mechanisation issues. It means the moment we begin dealing with tea, let us deal with it in totality. Let us find out where the AFA Act has failed so that it can be amended and rectified. If not so, let us find out a universal way of sorting out this matter once and for all. However, if you go to the grassroots to the people and farmers, the story is very different from what this Tea Bill is proposing to cure. One reason we legislate is to deal with the mischief and cure the problem through that legislation for the people. If as a House we are not meeting that standard, we will be failing in our duty. However, if we could have more time and since it is the Hon. Members who will vote, they can improve on the Bill and bring more amendments."
