Cherry tomatoes could cost 10% more 'within a week of Brexit' - BBC News

The cost of cherry tomatoes could increase by more than 10% if there is a no deal Brexit, say growers in southern Spain.

Something to consider if there is a revote.

And that's not taking the collapse of GBP into consideration.

time for some cheap Chinese or Indian exports



or maybe we can get some Turkish or Egyptian imports? Maybe we can increase UK production to take up the slack?

Yes, that will work. Chinese / Indian / Turkish / Egyptian imports after Brexit will have none of the problems (tariffs, paperwork, transport delays) that Spanish producers are worried about

Or we can increase our own production by - let me check your graphic - over 400%. "Within a week of Brexit", the context of the original story was. Those UK producers better get building those greenhouses sharpish.

Let's hope for a warm spring.

Should be plenty of unemployed City bankers to provide manpower for 5 year plan to increase home grown tomatoes by 400%.

Why provide all those lucrative tomato picking jobs to bankers? Brexit voters gave us the opportunities, they should reap the rewards.

But it doesnt work that way. If the price increases then people will buy less or look for alternatives. To compete Spain will have to lower it's prices.
