Britain is experiencing a shortage of Moroccan and Spanish tomatoes due to severe weather conditions and logistical issues. Moroccan farmers are grappling with storms, heavy rains, floods, and transport disruptions, while Spanish exports from Almeria are down by 22%. The situation has led to empty supermarket shelves and increased tomato prices. Additionally, Moroccan producers are dealing with a tomato pathogen and unseasonal cold temperatures, causing plants to stop growing. Heavy rains in February caused further flooding in the Souss Valley, a major tomato-growing region in Morocco.
