The article highlights the irregular trade patterns in the wholesale market ahead of Easter, with factors such as government restrictions, adverse weather conditions, and disasters in Spain impacting the availability and prices of vegetables.

The surge in prices is attributed to reduced imports, delayed ripening in the Netherlands, and poor vegetation conditions in Poland.
