So, as you heard the Minister explain, the authorities in agriculture have been closely monitoring the local carrot market, and that there is no such crisis as the farmers claimed.
When we asked specifically about that, Mai told us that he has concluded that this was political mischief:
Hon. Jose Mai - Minister of Agriculture, Food Security, & Enterprise
"I think we need to keep the political mischief out of things like this. If there are carrots rotting, and you interview me, I would say yes, there are, and what we will do to fix it. But, if we don't have, if we don't see it when they tell you that there's carrot rotting, then you need to see the evidence. But, just for political mischief, no. I think that's uncalled for and totally unnecessary."
