They are not involved in planting and the general process of management of sugar-cane, tea and coffee. They are not involved even at the processing level, but they turn up for marketing and take a big percentage of the earnings that would otherwise be due to farmers.

Hon. Speaker, according to our records, those are the Questions that were presented before the Committee. However, I cannot confirm that this is inaccurate because that is the information I have.
