Scots food producers blame Brexit for shortages as experts warn shelves could be empty for weeks
Scottish food producers have blamed Brexit for supermarket shortages as experts warned of price hikes and rationing "for weeks".
The National Farmers Union of Scotland said that Brexit "should be opening the government's eyes" about how important food producers are to the country.Clive Black, a top analyst at broker Shore Capital, said bad weather in Spain, where a lot of our produce comes from at this time of year, had come at a low point in the UK’s growing season. It has resulted in a “perfect storm leading to sky high prices for tomatoes and cucumbers.
Asda had already introduced a customer limit of three on tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, salad bags, broccoli, cauliflower and raspberries. But reports have suggested that there is an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables in European countries. He called for both governments “to maintain long term continuity of supply by utilising a fair pricing scheme for seasonal home grown produce.”
"Regardless of what the Tories and pro-Brexit Labour say, there is only one way to fix this: re-joining the European Union and Single Market.
