Asda and Morrisons limit sales of fruit and vegetables
Asda and Morrisons are putting limits on purchases of certain fruit and vegetables as supermarkets face shortages of fresh produce. Asda is limiting sales of items such as tomatoes, peppers and salad bags to a maximum quantity of three. The supermarket said other fruit and vegetables affected included cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflowers and raspberry punnets. The supply of crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers has been affected by unusually cold weather in southern Spain, while in Morocco, which is often the usual fall-back to purchase extra produce, floods have affected yields and storms have led to ferries being delayed or cancelled. Nigel Jenney, chief executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium, which represents around 700 businesses said costs from fuel, energy, packaging and distribution costs were also having an impact for producers.
