Wet weather causes fruit and vegetable shortages in the UK

Heavy rainfall and flooding in Spain and Morocco at the beginning of the year has resulted in reduced availability of soft fruit and mediterranean vegetables.

With crops badly damaged by the severe weather and growing times increased due to the lack of sunshine, supermarkets across the UK are reporting supply shortages.

As a result, shoppers are warned that they could see empty shelves and price increases of household favourites such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, berries and avocado.

Stock shortages highlight the need for quality cold storage, ensuring limited stock is preserved to the highest standard before it reaches customer baskets.
