The British are in trouble, some vegetables can only be bought in limited quantities
When shopping, the British are once again faced with empty cardboard boxes and shelves in place of fresh produce. The largest supermarkets have introduced limited purchase quantities for certain types of fruit and vegetables.

The UK’s biggest supermarket chains have begun regulating the sale of some essential fruit and vegetables. This is due to the acute shortage of fresh products. Representatives of the UK’s largest chain, Tesco, confirmed a few days ago that they have temporarily limited the amount of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers they can buy to three packs per person. Other chains (Asda and Aldi) have temporarily taken similar steps to sell tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce, but not all retail chains follow this policy.
According to consumers, this caused the trouble
The spokespeople of the supermarkets made a similar statement, citing the lack of vegetables grown in southern Spain and northern Africa as the reason for the restrictions. Limiting the amount of purchases causes a serious problem for customers, who are still complaining about the record-high increase in food prices, which has reached an average of 16.7% since the beginning of the year. And the lack of goods generates further price increases, as it takes several more weeks for local produce to reach the market. But shoppers blame Brexit for the situation, as leaving the EU cut them off from closer markets.
