Fruit & Vegetables: The Energy Issue
In light of the unprecedented soar in energy prices, Freshfel Europe is calling authorities for action to mitigate the far-reaching impact on the fruit and vegetable sector.
Fresh produce businesses are at risk of serious economic hardship, and even bankruptcy, because of high electricity and gas prices combined with other rising prices of production inputs, services and logistics. These increases can hardly be absorbed in the chain anymore due to short margins and have so far not been passed down to consumers.
