He says there's 'no need to panic buy'
Grocers across Nottingham say they are still full of produce despite supermarkets limiting the amount of fruit and vegetables shoppers can buy. On Wednesday, February 22, Tesco and Aldi became the latest supermarkets to restrict the sale of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, citing shortages due to extreme weather in Spain and north Africa.
"There's no need to panic buy, prices will come down." Cherie Severn, manager at the Fruit Basket in West Bridgford, said the shop was having to pay "quite a bit" more than usual for items such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Aldi said the limits on fresh produce were being brought in to "ensure that as many customers as possible can buy what they need". The UK also gets some produce at this time of year from domestic growers, but farmers have cut back on their use of greenhouses to grow winter crops due to higher electricity prices.
