Mon 29 May 2023, 11:02 A couple of weeks ago I was staring sadly at empty fruit and veg trays. The only green available were plastic packages of air freighted, "hand picked", mange-tout from China. I thought ahhh .... Brexit benefit and went away empty handed. I imagine Ms Coffey on the telephone to Mr Xi Jinping, "Just send us green stuff, don't care what it is, label it hand-picked, that'll be popular". |

Fri 26 May 2023, 11:50 I believe that part of 'food inflation' is due to people eating crops out of season which adds to production costs and transport costs. Incidentally the taste of out of season crops is usually poorer. |
