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 any time soon. According to BelOrta's Benny Cuypers, 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.”
