The spring season has brought good news for the fresh produce industry, with reports of successful Easter sales across the market. Despite the challenges posed by the recent cold and rainy weather, consumers are eager to embrace warmer temperatures and seasonal produce.
Many in the industry have noted the ongoing popularity of asparagus, which has become a traditional Easter favorite in recent years. The demand for this tasty vegetable is higher than ever, with an increasing number of people seeking the freshest and most delicious options.
Other products are also selling well, with spring strawberries and Peruvian mangoes proving to be particularly popular among customers. Many suppliers are pleased to see the return of Dutch products such as peppers and greenhouse cauliflower, which have been in short supply due to difficulties in the Spanish trade market.
Specialist shops have seen a surge in business in recent months, as more people turn to home cooking and seek out high-quality ingredients. Although the situation is slowly returning to normal, many shops are still facing challenges such as rising energy costs and staffing shortages.
