Regarding the NPWS, there is a dearth of data there. There are gaps in data and places that have not been assessed in terms of breeding species habitats. That needs to be addressed because if we have more farmers in the co-operation areas and proper results-based agri-environment schemes, we will see results.

On feed imports, more than 5 million tonnes of feed was imported in 2018. The Minister mentioned that he wanted to address this matter by having more homegrown feed. We are importing products such as soya, maize, palm kernel, etc.

What can be done to reduce the reliance on imported feed?
