I know the markets are there. As 100 farmers are not feeding 5 million people, there is bound to be a market there. I asked the question because I was in conversation recently with a man who used to grow pumpkins for the Hallowe’en market. He got out because he could not compete with the produce coming in from Holland. Even though the market was there, he could not compete with the Dutch pumpkins.
