The article says that 7p carrots would be a loss leader or perhaps a temporary deal.
Comment on Zack Polanski says 7p carrots are too cheap. But is it hurting farmers or addressing food poverty?

That is very cheap, where?
Also carrots are harvested by machines, not people. So it makes sense that it is an incredibly low price.

Still requires large amounts of fertiliser, diesel, water, and labour over the growth cycle.

Large amounts over the entire field, but very little per carrot.
