Tomato prices in Belgium have surged due to a combination of climate issues in the southern regions, high energy costs, and a decision by Turkey to limit tomato exports. These factors have led to a decrease in the volume of winter production. Green sweet pepper and lettuce cultivation has also been reduced, resulting in a limited supply of these vegetables. However, BelOrta has a good stock of cucumbers. The higher prices of these vegetables are necessary to make cultivation profitable for growers.

In Belgium, tomato prices have skyrocketed again. Several local media outlets are reporting shortages in the market and it looks like things won't change anytime soon. According to Benny Cuypers of BelOrta, the rise in prices was the result of a chain of events: “Climate problems in the south have resulted in disappointingly low yields and high energy costs. Thus, the volume of our winter production was undoubtedly lower. This deficit is the result of all these factors.” In addition, last week Turkey decided to limit the export of tomatoes due to higher prices and the recent devastating earthquake. This means that the prices of almost all varieties of tomatoes have skyrocketed. The specialist explains: “We have some local tomatoes, but the volumes are minimal. Large volumes will not hit the market until April, although we will have more stable supplies in March.” See also: Cucumbers instead of tomatoes - in Europe, greenhouses change priorities As EastFruit writes with reference ...
