Prices
Article Abstract:
UK's frozen vegetable market has seen a far higher rate increase on average retail prices compared to retail prices and food prices as a whole between 1994 and 1998. Prices for frozen vegetables rose by twice to three times in comparison to only 9% increase of food prices over the period. Supply side factors, such as shortages of produce brought about by extreme weather conditions at crucial stages in the growing period, were the main reasons for price increases of chips and other potato products (21%), beans (28%), peas (29%) and all other vegetables (18%).
