The price of fruit and vegetables will rise this winter or else growers will “all go out of business”, a farmer has predicted.
“Natural gas would be the main source of heating and with the war in Ukraine, prices are just astronomical,” Matt Foley, a tomato grower from Dublin, told“And there seems to be no let up there. Just looking at the prices for this winter, they’re frightening in fact. A man chooses tomatoes in a supermarket with a reusable bag. Picture by: Elizaveta Galitckaia / Alamy Stock Photo
“There was a big shortage of tomatoes in the early summer this year for various reasons,” he continued.WinterIt is a bleak picture and Mr Foley predicts this it is a crisis that won’t go away anytime soon:
We don't get gas from Ukraine. Russia sanctions were a political decision which harms Irish people.
The cost of every flipping thing has gone up!!!
buy direct and organic rather than pesticide riddled mega chain produce
Manufactured crisis
Maybe, and hear me out, we could... close farms, and punish farmers, to, stop prices going up:)
