Since the end of December, aubergine prices have been on the rise and at the beginning of this week they are quoted at 4-4.5 €/kg from St Charles. Murcia is a region strongly affected by cold spell especially for lettuce including Iceberg but also broccoli. The tomatoes lack colouring and few products are available, the market should return to normal in a week or two depending on the weather. In Almeria, ratatouille vegetables are the most affected, namely courgettes, aubergines and tomatoes. According to the operators, the volumes are not sufficient nor in harvest nor in packing stations, there is simply not enough production to meet the demand.
