Why UK supermarkets are rationing fruit and vegetables | CNN Business

Tesco\n \n , the UK’s biggest supermarket, confirmed to CNN Wednesday that it had temporarily capped the number of packs of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to three per customer. Asda told CNN that it was temporarily limiting purchases of some items to three packs per customer. These include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce. “Like other supermarkets, we are experiencing sourcing challenges on some products that are grown in southern Spain and north Africa,” an Asda spokesperson said.

James Bailey, executive director of supermarket Waitrose, told LBC radio Monday that snow and hail in Spain, as well as hail in parts of north Africa, had “wip[ed] out a large proportion” of key crops. The high-end supermarket chain told CNN that it was “monitoring the situation” but had no plans to introduce rationing. “Give it about [two weeks] and the other growing seasons in other parts of the world will have caught up and we should be able to get that supply back in,” Bailey added.

This is happening also in Germany. Lidl and Edeka have a lot of empty shelves.

No they are not! MISINFORMATION

Because of media fear mongering.

Grocery prices have skyrocketed in the UK? This is Bidens fault, somehow, right?

Besides potatoes, I didn't realise the British were so into quality vegetables...

Pray for them

Or Brexit, as we like to call it.

All Biden's fault, right?

Overpopulation, excess greed and careless waste might have something to do with it.

Can you guess in this video what is the America first leader here and which is the leader that puts America last?

Canada's six food retailers ration food with price hikes until only the wealthy can afford items in short supply. Wish we had more retail competition!

Who needs fruit and veg when you’ve got wine .

Are they in the tanks and planes they sent to Ukraine?

Exit from Brexit 😉

British Farmers are desperate for customers! The govt needs to support & encourage British Farming!JeremyClarkson ClarksonsFarm

Supermarkets ration food because they can, they keep food in storage way longer than any other retailer can. They create false food shortages and then they increase prices. Simple.

This is a worthless announcement without wage disclosure. Home Depot is a massive company. Is a billion across the board enough for their full time workers to make a living wage? Anything less than that result is simply performative on corporates end. Then pass the cost on to constomers. That's awesome for all those college grads who received a major in drama..
