Discounter Hofer wants to bypass the fruit traders with asparagus
Nevertheless, in the asparagus season so far, producer prices are about 20% higher than in an average year. In growing area Eferding, the asparagus was exceptionally cheap, as measured by the above average quality of 2014. Therefore the higher prices of 2015 are also seen as a normalization. In the future, deliveries to chain stores will have central importance in Austria.
