I will mention only one sector, that of forestry, due to the time I have remaining. We have acknowledged that forestry is an important sector. We have 9% land cover under forestry with a target of 10,000 hectares per annum to reach a 17% target, yet the funding for the sector has been cut. If ever there was smart investment, it would be in the forestry sector. We cannot strangle this sector, which provides jobs in wider industry outside agriculture. I appeal to the Minister to make every effort to ensure funding for it is not cut before it begins to develop.
