Tridge summary

Prices for imported bell peppers in Poland are increasing due to the end of the harvesting season in Spain and decreased supply to Europe. Adverse weather conditions in Spain have resulted in a lower paprika harvest, further reducing the supply of peppers. Additionally, there is no sweet pepper from the Netherlands on the Polish market, exacerbating the supply issue. The cost of imported sweet peppers in Poland has surged by an average of 207% since mid-February, reaching PLN 18–22 / kg, a record high in the country over the past decade.
