"To be honest, I thought there would be a reduction of the area last year, but it didn't happen. The early plants have to be ordered again. There is no way growers aren't starting to wonder. It can't go on like this, or it will turn into a mushroom or chicory scenario," concludes Frank. "We need a cold period, so there's some more demand for leek. There are two options: growers will have to stop, or demand will have to increase."
