There will be smaller vegetables on Tesco’s shelves after floods hit farms in the UK towards the end of last year.
Consumers will see smaller vegetables in the supermarket chain after farmers’ crops were affected by extreme weather. The superstore is temporarily buying slightly smaller sprouts, cauliflowers, cabbages, and leeks from UK farmers struggling with devastating floods hitting parts of the country.
Heavy rainfall and flooding have affected growers since October, with areas in Lincolnshire, East Anglia, Cornwall, and Scotland affected.
Stalker also notes that in Co. Down the floods hit the supermarket sector directly with Asda in Downpatrick being severely damaged, and closed since.
