This brings me back to what I asked earlier. While responsibility is left under the Department of Health, we will never be able to build up the industry. There is so much uncertainty. Farmers will not have the confidence to invest to increase the crop yield enough to make blocks or insulation. Therefore, we will have to continue importing the material.
