Notes:
(6th July)
No significant changes, relative to the time of year, since the last update.
Wholesalers are making no unusual comments about UK prices. In the initial weeks of the Covid-19 crisis, concerns were expressed that there might be distribution difficulties with imported produce which could put pressure on UK produce, but as yet this has not materialised. The situation seems to have stabilised and a full range of produce (for the time of year) is available. Our next scheduled update is for the week starting 20th July (week 30).
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.
