Shops were forced to impose rations on certain products last month
Some supermarkets have begun to relax their limits on the amount of certain fruits and vegetables that shoppers can buy instore. Last month, supply issues down to bad weather and transport problems in Africa meant that things like tomatoes and peppers were hard to come by in supermarkets.
The supermarket said availability overall had improved as expected, and supplies of tomatoes and peppers were also expected to be back to normal within a couple of weeks. The shortages soon spread to other products, leaving shelves bare of a number of fresh produce items including cucumbers, peppers and lettuces. Tesco, Aldi and Lidl limited purchases of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers to three items per person, while Morrisons set a limit of two items per customer across tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and peppers.
Supplies from Britain’s other major winter source, Spain, were also badly affected by weather. These were compounded by ferry cancellations due to bad weather, hitting lorry deliveries. Producers locally also reported having to cut back on their use of greenhouses due to higher electricity prices.
