Tomato shortage could hit the UK as heatwave impacts farmers in Spain and Italy
UK supermarkets could face another shortage of tomatoes and other fresh fruit and vegetables as the extreme heatwave in Europe affects growers in Spain and Italy.
While the weather has been much milder in the UK, British consumers are likely to still see the impact when it comes to the supply of foods such as tomatoes and salad, which are exported to the UK from southern Europe in large volumes. The British Retail Consortium, which represents supermarkets, said the “extreme weather conditions” were putting supermarkets under “pressure” but that retailers are “working hard to limit price increases”.
“So obviously this won’t help, because there will be so much demand on the water that is already there,” he said.
