Farmers are reported to have worked together to sell their produce on Monday morning after most of the middlemen, who traditionally auction fruit and vegetables to sellers, had their licences suspended.
The Malta Youth in Agriculture Foundation (MaYA) said the farmers managed to avert the “total chaos” predicted at the Pitkalija market in the early hours.
The foundation said they witnessed farmers working together, but that the disruption from the Pitkala Association “didn’t come without losses” and that the full consequences of the situation were still to be fully evaluated.
“The situation would have also been worse had there not been a dedicated ministry with a sufficient set of decision-makers to intervene and assist in a timely and decisive manner.”
