The zeal with which Minister of Agriculture Ediberto Mai had taken on the campaign against the importation of dairy products would suggest that he himself was a personal beneficiary to the success or failure of the local dairy producers. But he is not. The reality is that he has taken on a fight for someone else. The thing is that members of the very community to which the largest dairy product producer belongs to do not support the dairy producer.
Pictures taken this week in Spanish Lookout, where the largest dairy producer in the country is located, shows a truck in front of the Farmers Trading Center which is the largest supermarket in the community and is owned by members of the same Mennonite community. The truck was there delivering LALA products. A check inside the supermarket shows their shelves replete with LALA products. 
At the same time checks on the coolers show a mere 7 bottles of the locally produced milk. Persons within the supermarket say they don’t stock a lot of the local products.
The question for Mai now is, are you really now prepared to fight another man’s war when the very people who should be supporting the dairy producers are not willing to support?
