"It is always an issue of supply and demand. The majority of the harvest now is in January, February, I think in March from the information have been sent. Let me say there's one or two farmers in San Carlos who are upset. Carrots is a highly perishable vegetable. It spoils in your refrigerator, right? It has no shelf life. You cannot expect the public to consume all your carrots in one day."

"The farmers know this very well. But if there is one farmer or one politician who chooses carrots to make a political statement, he is mistaken. That is primary school politics coming from a very weak political mind. They've tried it before. Tracy tried it, when she was feeling very carrotish-ish two years ago. I had to apologize for what I said to her and Shyne Barrow tried it too and it has not worked."

"Carrots is not a matter that you need to play politics with. It's not, it takes you nowhere. Our job is to ensure that the farmer can market as much as he can. In the next five years of a term in government, which will begin shortly on the next five years. We are moving out agriculture sector to a more industrialized type agriculture."

"We've seen that if we reach our capacity in fresh production, we start not to add value aggressively. And so we are reaching out to the ROC mission. We are reaching out to other countries to help us design a plant. I think we have it approved already, our facility where we can process these products because they are perishables."
