Morrisons Implements Vegetable Purchase Limits Amid Supply Shortages
Morrisons has announced new purchase restrictions on select vegetables across all UK stores, effective from today. Customers will be limited to two items per person for tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and peppers. This measure aims to ensure equitable distribution of produce amid ongoing supply challenges.
The restrictions are a response to significant shortages caused by adverse weather conditions in key supplier regions. Recent floods, snow, and hail in southern Spain and northern Africa have disrupted harvests, leading to reduced availability of these vegetables. As a result, Morrisons, along with other supermarkets like Asda, has implemented purchase limits to manage the situation.
These shortages are expected to persist for several weeks until the UK growing season commences and alternative supply sources are secured. The British Retail Consortium has indicated that retailers are collaborating with farmers to navigate these challenges and maintain a steady supply of fresh produce.
Morrisons has urged customers to be mindful of these limitations and to consider alternative vegetables where possible. The company remains committed to supporting its customers during this period of supply disruption.
