Reference was made to intervention and market insurance schemes. It is said it is always easy for farmers and co-operatives to talk about this when the price is low but not when the price is high. There seems to be a trigger in, trigger out when prices reach a certain point. Intervention is set at world market prices, which really means it is ineffective. Have the banks any comments or observations on that?
