The rise in the price of vegetables, which is fixed all over the world, began to break all possible records. Experts predict that the situation can only worsen further.
As Izvestia writes, although the reasons for the price hikes may be different, the supply chain crisis that began in the coronavirus era may be getting worse, and the situation may only worsen in the future.
As for Russia, vegetables began to rise sharply in the middle of winter. The reason for this was the difficulties that arose with the supply of equipment for greenhouses, many of which were imported. But this aspect of the problem gradually faded into the background, as the seasonality factor began to weaken and vegetables began to get cheaper again.
In Europe, the situation is more serious. The crop failure due to the summer heat in 2022, record floods, the geopolitical situation, as well as the energy shortage and other problems have all played their part. All this led to the record price of vegetables.
