"The price of lettuce is currently around 5 Euro and that's a great price. But, you see countries like Spain where the price level is dropping faster. The offer is currently not too large and demand is actually coming from all over Europe," says Michael. "The cauliflower and broccoli market has had a bit of a dip, but currently there is less on the market and the prices are rising again."
"De wortelmarkt is heel erg goed geweest en verloopt eigenlijk nog steeds prima. Ook vanuit het Verenigd Koninkrijk is er vraag naar industriewortelen. Door het natte weer verloopt de Britse vollegrondsgroenteteelt erg grillig. Het is echt hollen en stilstaan, maar waarschijnlijk zal er vanuit die hoek het hele seizoen wel vraag blijven. Zo neemt men ook uien af voor de industrie. De uienprijs ligt momenteel rond de 20 cent en ook aardappelen in big bags gaan voor 20 cent weg", besluit Michael.
"The carrot market has very been good and is going fine. Also from the UK there is demand for carrots for processing. Because of the wet weather does the British field crops are very erratic. It really full on then stops, but demand will probably remain all season. The onion price is currently around 20 cents and potatoes in big bags go for 20 cents," concludes Michael.
