Notes:
(12th October)
No significant changes, relative to the time of year, since the last update.
Wholesalers are making no unusual comments about UK prices - one wholesaler has said that they've run largely as normal throughout the crisis. Our next scheduled update is for the week starting 26th October (week 44).
On the retail prices, we are having to use a smaller sample of retail/veg box/farmshop prices because many of the websites giving these are closed to new customers. Some of the box schemes are starting to open to new customers. Despite the massive increase in takeup of box schemes and independent outlets, the usual difference between wholesale and retail prices has not increased.
The situation could easily change and we continue to monitor it closely.
We can no longer give supermarket prices - we took these from the aggregator site mysupermarket.co.uk which has now ceased operation.
We have information on more lines than are published here and producers who would like further detail are welcome to contact our Producer Support team directly.
***
We would love to hear from any wholesalers who are happy to submit their prices to us confidentially so that we can ensure that we are continuing to provide an accurate representation. Please use the form below to contact us.
