“देश की खाद्य सुरक्षा के लिए दिन-रात जुटे रहने वाले अपने किसान भाई-बहनों के हित में हम कोई कोर-कसर नहीं छोड़ रहे हैं। चाहे प्याज का निर्यात शुल्क कम करना हो या खाद्य तेलों का आयात शुल्क बढ़ाना, ऐसे कई फैसलों से हमारे अन्नदाताओं को बहुत लाभ होने वाला है। इनसे जहां उनकी आय बढ़ेगी, वहीं ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में रोजगार के अवसर भी बढ़ेंगे।”
