Tomato prices in European markets have surged to unprecedented levels since the start of the current season, reaching nearly 8 euros per kilogram in some stores, according to Spanish media outlets.
This increase is attributed to unfavorable weather conditions in southern countries of origin, primarily Morocco, which has decided to impose restrictions on tomato exports to European and African markets. This decision aims to boost domestic supply and lower prices for the benefit of local consumers.
The market in Europe is currently experiencing an imbalance between rising demand and limited supply, which has contributed to pushing prices upward. Despite this notable increase, the demand for tomatoes remains strong.
Consumers expect a gradual improvement in supply in the coming days with the onset of the harvest season, which may contribute to a gradual decline in prices.
