Finance Minister Foon states:
"The total value of groundnuts purchased stands at D251.5million."
Has this amount taken into account, the cost of production per metric tonnage of peanuts and what the take home pay of those exploited producers turned out to be? Quite often, these speeches are coloured with figures that only the figure cook is able deal with. We want simplified information bearing positive impact on lives of those poor farmers who don't relate to figures.
