The article provides an analysis of the price trends in the Dutch horticultural sector for the first half of 2022, following the end of coronavirus measures but amidst an energy crisis and high inflation. It looks at the experience across various crops, including greenhouse and field vegetables, mushrooms, and soft and top fruits. The greenhouse vegetable sector saw mixed price performances for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines, and strawberries, with some experiencing strong starts but challenges at different times.
