Strawberry prices were high last week. "We even got EUR 10. Today prices are back to normal. They vary, but do not go above EUR 5. This means prices have dropped by a half within a week."
He admits that the local production of greenhouse vegetables is high due the warm weather. "The field vegetables, however, suffered from the dry weather. There are some problems with quality. It will, apparently, improve shortly since it has started raining. It is striking that lettuces have become more expensive since some countries, like Germany and Switzerland, were affected by the dry weather. There is, therefore, sufficient demand for lettuce."
