Farmers 'associations, the organizations that best understood Taiwan's agriculture in the past, have not done everything in their power to ameliorate things. This has allowed farmers to kill each other in price wars, leaving them to be sucked dry by wholesalers. This imbalance in the distribution of profits has led to a vicious cycle wherein "agriculture would never experience three good months in a row."
農會也需要負起責任，過去最瞭解台灣農業的農會組織並未發揮力量，往往任由農民彼此互相殺價、導致中盤商過度剝削，利潤分配不均，形成「農業沒有三個月好光景」的惡性循環。
