That is basically okay. We know that farmers are paying on the double. It seems to me that there are between 40,000 tonnes and 50,000 tonnes of plastic out there. One company is saying that the five locations are compliant, but I think that should be looked into in depth. An independent inspection should be carried out on that issue.
