Holland is a small country with the same climate as the S of England, so I can't help wondering why we don't grow more e.g. peppers and tomatoes ourselves. Is it because miles of plastic greenhouses - similar to those in parts of Spain - are needed, and the NIMBYs don't want them spoiling the view?
I can't think it's that much cheaper to grow them in Holland - they surely have much the same situation with employment, immigrant labour, etc. as we do. Is there something I'm missing?
