Several supermarkets have limited the number of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers that can bought
High energy costs have forced one of the UK's biggest cucumber firms to reduce production despite salad item shortages in supermarkets. Tony Montalbano from Green Acre Salads in Roydon, Essex, said he will be growing fewer crops and start later in the year.Mr Montalbano said he was "trying to find ways of saving" money.Grower Tony Montalbano said he had to cut production during winter to keep his energy bills downMr Montalbano said for the second year running he had planted two seasons of crops rather than the usual three to avoid the higher winter months growing costs.
Mr Montalbano said although this would reduce his costs it also meant he could lose out on about a third of his turnover.The UK government has said the shortages were largely down to bad weather in Europe and Africa.
