The transport strike in Spain caused higher prices for vegetables

Spain is experiencing higher prices for vegetables, mainly tomato, zucchini, and bell pepper due to the transport crisis. As suppliers were not able to deliver their products and sell their products in the normal “subastas” (auctions) that occur daily to sell vegetables either at national or international level, the prices of the above have highly increased reaching up to USD 2.22/kg for tomatoes and + USD 2.22/kg for bell pepper. Prices are expected to become normal in the upcoming weeks as soon as the transport comes back to normal.
