Frosts and snowfall have been preventing the sale of fresh fruit and vegetables on wholesale markets for several days. Growers are holding back from opening a storage room or a cold store, hoping for a quick improvement of the weather and price increases.
Cold weather significantly affects trade. In fact, since the beginning of this week, the apple sales traffic is very low, there is a shortage of fruit and buyers. There is no trade and apple prices remain unchanged. There are single sellers and single buyers, but the majority of fruit growers refrain from taking goods to wholesale markets, waiting for the frost to ease, hoping that the trade will thus revive.
Some fruit growers transfer their offers to the Internet, on the increasingly popular online sales platform.
