The drought in England is causing concern for veg supplies later in the year.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) has urged British shoppers to accept buying wonky vegetables as the drought threatens to produce shrunken onions and potatoes which might not ordinarily meet with supermarket quality standards.
The NFU is urging shoppers to “pull together”.
Meanwhile it is reported that fruit and veg worth more than £60 million has been left to rot in fields because there were not enough people to harvest them according to a survey by the NFU. It has called for rules on seasonal workers to be relaxed.
