§ Mr. Carterasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the average cost of production of carrots this year; what was the average price paid to the grower; what was the average wholesale price; and what was the average retail price.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartI regret that information on current costs of production of carrots and prices paid to growers is not available. Because both wholesale and retail prices of carrots are subject to marked variation within each season average prices calculated over a period longer than a month would be misleading.
