Combined with high demand from large retailers, this causes prices to rise. Yesterday, the auction price even reached 70 cents.
"At the moment the cucumber market is very agitated. But the Dutch cucumber acreage has declined quite a bit, so the chances of the market reaching more of an equilibrium, are only increasing," the sales organization concludes optimistically.
