Shoppers are facing a broccoli shortage after supermarket supplies were hit by wet weather, growers have warned
Broccoli stocks have fallen over the last month after poor weather impacted yields and farmers planted less because of financial pressures.
Martin Tate, commercial director at Lincolnshire Field Products and chairman of the Brassica Growers Association (BGA), said: “We had a good start to the year, and the expectation was where we needed it to be to satisfy all the orders in June, July, August and September
Then we’ve had, according to our records which go back 53 years, the second wettest October
“ We would normally expect to harvest broccoli in the UK up until the middle of November but most growers found themselves struggling in the last week or two of October “
Mr Tate added that many British growers had scaled back production because of cash strains
As long as our Christmas sprouts are safe - which vegetable would you miss?
