Prices around 1.20
Buedts is specialised in the production of asparagus and chicory. Hein sees an important difference compared to last year, especially in the price. "Globally, everything is a lot more stable than last year. During the summer there was a short revival in July and the price on the clock reached a peak above 2 Euro, but after that it dropped again. At the moment the price is around 1.20. This is a fine price that everyone can work with. The producer as well as the trade and the retailer. If it rises much more, it will be difficult to sell."
Autumn
Hein expects the demand for chicory to pull up again from September due to various offers in the supermarket. "There will be more production then too. The new carrots season will start again in the spring and it is expected that there will be a gap between old and new harvest. We can't be sure when this will happen. It depends on a number of things," concludes Hein.
