“ How many people will benefit from this get together ? Who are the stakeholders ? Isn't the three big companies MORDI, Gro Fed, Nishi Trading Company are the only ones that will profit from the outcome of this so called dialogue . Realistically for the local farmer to benefit from this , they'll have to plant their bush allotment with crops to feed ones own family also to sell . To plant enough for both sustenance and to sell , for the subsistence farmer that's not feasible , he does not have enough land unless he could acquire more land by leasing from other land holders he'll not be able to maintain his crop all year around . That's no problem for the BIG THREE they have the land and the funds so ! How's this dialogue going to affect or improve farmers lives ? , "Where we are ? We 're subsistence farming community , and where do we want to go " to be self sufficient with leftover to sell for cash all year around . A more realistic approach would be for the Ministry of agriculture to procure seeds or shoots , cutting , bulb , that are drought and disease resistant for the farmers to plant . ”
