Really more expensive than meat! European cauliflower prices hit record | Pepper tomato prices hit new record highs

Bohua News, March 3 | This year's vegetable prices broke records. This time, the media's attention was drawn to cauliflower, which in some stores is more expensive than meat. Pepper and tomato prices remain at record highs.

The price of cauliflower this year is very scary (as are other vegetables). The price of this vegetable in Auchan is PLN 13.98. At Carrefour we will pay PLN 13.99 for it. However, both stores were beaten by Lidl, who sold cauliflower for PLN 15.99 each. The media even wrote about "horrible cauliflower".

A senator who also noted the record increase in the price of the vegetable published a horrific receipt in Biedronka last week. The price per kilogram of cauliflower is 12.99 zloty (about 20 yuan). The senator bought a cauliflower weighing 1.65 kilograms, and as a result had to pay 21.43 zlotys (about 32 yuan) in the store. "Dear you, our cauliflower ..." - he wrote, noting that now 1 kg of chicken thigh meat turned out to be cheaper than vegetables. Their price at the time of promotion is 6.99 zlotys (about 10 yuan) per kilogram.

However, the price of cauliflower in the wholesale market of fruits and vegetables in Warsaw Bronisze decreased slightly. Instead of PLN 12, this vegetable is imported from France, Spain or Italy, while each costs about PLN 8. Cauliflower isn't the only vegetable with record prices. The winter raids brought disaster to crops in Spain and Morocco. This, combined with high energy prices, leads to extremely high vegetable prices. First of all, tomatoes and peppers are much more expensive at the same time than last year.

According to calculations, Tomato is a record-breaker. During the year, the price of this vegetable rose from PLN 1.4 to PLN 15 (about 23.3 yuan) per kilogram. The price increase was as high as 9.7 times. On the other hand, the price of chili peppers rose from PLN 6.25 to PLN 19 (about 30 yuan), and these are just the prices in the Bronisze wholesale market. In some markets in Poland, tomatoes and peppers cost as much as 35 zlotys (about 55 yuan) per kilogram.

In particular, the price of greenhouse vegetables has risen. Due to the energy crisis and record energy prices, they are even more expensive to grow. - Greenhouses need a lot of energy - the president of the National Association of Fruit and Vegetable Producers said in an interview with the media. In addition, he noted, prices are affected by rising transportation or planting costs. "At the moment, we can only survive on these prices," he added.
