I was talking to Guy Singh-Watson, who runs the Riverford vegetable box scheme, about the problems of bringing in fresh veg from Europe. After Jan 1, for each lorryload he brings in from Europe he has to fill in nine forms 48 hours in advance, detailing exactly what is on board. This is difficult as you don’t necessarily know what is good to pick 48 hours in advance. Prices for imported veg are expected, on average, to increase by six per cent.
