Most citrus fruit in Spain, such as lemons and oranges, are thriving after the brief bad spell, but overall there are fewer fresh fruits and vegetables available both in Spain and for export to Europe than usual.
Aubergines, courgettes and asparagus have been some of the first to see a significant cost increase, with courgettes costing doubled in price and tomato crops now selling for 60 per cent more than they did before Christmas.
ILLEGAL STALLS REMOVED TO ENSURE SAFETY AND SECURITY - PS FIFER
25/12/2020
The Permanent Secretary for Local Government Dimity Fifer responded to false claims that vendors, whose illegal stalls were removed because of Tropical Cyclone Yasa safety concerns, were not being offered permanent market spaces.
The Permanent Secretary stated that last week, Municipal Councils informed all roadside vendors to remove illegal stall structures to ensure the safety and security of all during Tropical Cyclone Yasa. If illegal structures were not removed, the Councils were to do so for the public’s protection.
“Vendors in Makoi and Tebara can still serve Makoi and Narere areas. Vunidogo Market has remained largely empty while the vendors were selling from illegal stalls on the roadside. Sellers from the roadside now have a legal space.”
