Rot is not an issue. Every island experiences it. Unless you.can give me data and calculate how much it affects you it is simply hyperbole to say rot is a significant factor due to seasons.

In islands without seasons it may be sufficient to stockpile only a small safety margin if you can trust politically that your neighbours will keep selling you food.

In islands with seasons you must stockpile more as you know that very little food is available during winter. That's where rot kicks in.
After all it's a roleplaying game.
