Vegetable supplies

A FEW weeks ago, the alarm was sound ed, some British supermarket chains had started to ration Spanish vegetables due to a lack of supply.

In Almeria fruit and vegetable professionals did their best to overcome the circum stances and after the weeks of cold, the warmth of winter returned and part of the produc tion that had been lacking between the fifth and seventh week, around 20 per cent of tomato, pepper, cucumber and courgette, was recovered.

Supplies are once again on time and on target.

Juan Carlos Perez, co­director of the Coexphal ­ UAL Chair, explained to a local news source. “Little by little, normality has been returning, you can see in the prices how they have fallen since the eighth week.

temperatures over the last week could also affect prices in the near future, but it will be temporary. We are now producing the new spring crops and exports of melons and watermelons will start.

“As far as Almeria is concerned, there won’t be any kind of problem.”

Perez also pointed out that the province has the maximum market share for courgette, cucumber, pepper, melon and watermelon.
