The bell pepper market has been quite busy in recent months, "In terms of prices, we had a pretty good spring. Although, the product yield in kilos was lower than desirable; supply was then limited. The month of June was bad for prices, with too much supply, not only from the Netherlands but from Spain as well. This meant bad prices for the crop, the crop that produced a lot of bell peppers," says Marco Bergman from Harvest House.
"To date, all markets are selling Dutch bell peppers, at least periodically. The good weather we have been having over the last few days is great for consumption, but its a concern for the crop. It is also true that planting a new bell pepper plant is difficult when it is so hot. This will have implications for the upcoming period. It is expected that there will be less bell peppers available. This will hopefully be good for prices, at least if the old law of supply and demand does it's job," says the bell pepper seller.
