UK sets purchase limit
The announcement was issued last Tuesday (21), stating that the country faces a major shortage of tomatoes. Afterwards, the absence was also confirmed in other vegetables and fruits, making the trade need to take measures to limit the purchase of these products. Peppers also stopped being grown by farmers during heavy rains.
They limited the purchase to three of each fruit and vegetable, making it possible for people to still buy the fresh produce during shortages. These limits are valid for cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and raspberries starting this week.
Reports state that purchase limitations can last for weeks, as well as indicating that supermarkets are working together with the agriculture sector so that consumers still have the what to buy.
