In this case, there was like 4 months notice where all of it was undefined, so of course nobody did anything and now we still don’t have local production. Now, prices will go up and local producers (if they even build up) will match the new prices instead of keeping them low.
Congrats, worst of both worlds! We still have no local production and prices have gone up! Yay!
