Producers warn of prolonged UK vegetable crisis – UK

LONDON – British vegetable and fruit producers are warning of a long crisis amid supply problems for some groceries. “Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant will not be available in bulk until May, so it will take more than a couple of weeks,” said Lee Stiles of the Lea Valley Growers Association (LVGA), according to the BBC. It is too late for British producers to make up for the shortage. They should have planted earlier for that, Stiles said.
