Tomatoes are up 23% to R8.09 per kilogram. While Peppers now cost R11.97, a spike of 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pieter van Zyl, market analyst for AMT, said the full impact of the recent frost damage is yet to be felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLast week was the third week in a row where tomato prices have risen,\u201d said Zyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPepper sales have been moving sideways over the past three weeks; however, last week the price rose quite sharply. Many [were] damaged due to the frost \u2026 and late last week, producers sent fewer products to the markets,\u201d added Zyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strike Sebake, an agent for Tshwane Market, said even the tomatoes that are making it to the shelves are often not of good quality.While, according to Sebake, other vegetables&nbsp;<em>spiking&nbsp;<\/em>are baby marrows, green beans, chilies, and okra.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>European Crop Woes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Adverse weather in the European Union has sharply reduced prospects for wheat and barley harvests, contributing to a potentially \u2018explosive\u2019 global supply outlook for the cereals, analyst firm Strategie Grains said.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a monthly report, Strategie Grains reduced its forecast for 2021 soft wheat production in the 27-country EU by 1.5 million tonnes. This reduction has been blamed on the historic flooding in the run-up to harvesting, which has led to disappointing yields in France and Germany. High temperatures in June lowered yields in Poland and northern Europe. While cold conditions across Western Europe in July have hampered growing efforts there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent downgrade, which is by no means disastrous on its own, comes as harvest prospects have also deteriorated in other major exporting regions, such as North America, South America, South Africa, and the Black Sea region (among others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, Strategie Grains reduced its estimates of world wheat production, including durum, by 14 million tonnes to 750.3 million tonnes, with further reductions all-but guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global wheat demand is expected to expand in 2021\/22, and this, combined with the failing harvests, could lead to the&nbsp;<em>stocks-to-use&nbsp;<\/em>ratio in major exporting countries falling to its second-lowest level on record, after 2012\/13, Strategie Grains said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the quality is also expected to be lower, reflecting the impact of the inclement weather \u2014 as a result, the share of livestock feed-grade crop in the soft wheat harvest was expected to be substantially higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Projected EU&nbsp;<strong>barley&nbsp;<\/strong>production was lowered&nbsp;<em>again<\/em>, by 2 million tonnes from July to 53.0 million tonnes, contributing to a 7 million tonne cut to Strategie Grains\u2019 forecast of global barley output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These global shortages \u2013which include freezes in South America and droughts in Canada\u2013 are threatening \u201cexplosive situations for barley and wheat\u201d markets, said Strategie Grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn\u2019t only grains being negatively impacted, the quality of harvests in\u00a0<strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Belgium\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>this year, from grains to fruit and vegetables, has been affected by a cold spring with little sun and then constant heavy rain throughout the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effects are being felt across the board, with most crops \u2013from pears, the fruit most grown in Belgium, to cereals and the country\u2019s other signature crop, potatoes\u2013 reeling from the adverse weather conditions, reports&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/article\/9344630\/belgian-food-crop-production-affected-by-poor-weather-conditions\/\">freshplaza.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s yield of pears, for example, is expected to be about 25% lower than in 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is due to frost early in the season, in some places, but also to the poor weather conditions, which prevent a good pollination of the flowers,\u201d Olivier Warnier of the Centre fruitier Wallon told Belga News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe coming harvest could be the lowest in 10, 15 years,\u201d said Warnier, who added that the drop in production would bolster prices.&nbsp;A dark, cold spell in late May also caused many of the baby fruit to fall, the expert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another major European grower of pears,\u00a0<em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>the Netherlands<\/strong>,<\/span><\/em> is also bracing for a poor harvest, and the situation is even worse for the continent\u2019s No. 1
