The ongoing heatwave and severe water shortage are significantly impacting broccoli harvests across the UK, especially in drier regions.
Farmers in these areas report yield reductions exceeding 50%, leading to concerns about smaller vegetables and potential supply shortages.
The British Growers Association acknowledges tight supplies but anticipates that wetter areas' harvests will help maintain supermarket availability.
Experts warn that this could be one of the UK's worst harvests in decades, highlighting the escalating risks posed by extreme weather patterns.
