A domestic importer commented on the fact that a Dutch exporter reported that Italy prefers Polish lettuce.
People therefore tend to choose according to prices. "They vary depending on the weather conditions of a specific area."
Produce is usually packed in 10-piece cardboard boxes in flowpacks (6-7 kg). The price per package (Dutch origin) at the moment is approximately €4.50 (carriage paid to Northern Italy).
Iceberg lettuce is consumed mainly in Southern Italy.
