Farmers should be given a fertiliser subsidy just like in other crops. Coffee farmers were given the Cherry Fund. That was okay, but why were tea farmers not given a fund and yet they fetched low prices? Why were they not supported by the Government with a similar fund? Employment at the KTDA is skewed. No staff is employed from tea growing areas to look at the interests of the farmers from that region."}
