Brexit to blame for £3 million blueberry crop being donated to charity, says SNP MP

BREXIT is to blame for conditions that caused a Scottish blueberry farmer to donate his £3 million crop to charity, according to an SNP MP.

Peter Thomson, who has around 60 acres of blueberry bushes on his farm in Blairgowrie, announced that it was no longer economically worthwhile for him to harvest the crop due to the value of the fruit falling by around £1 million this year.

Instead, he has invited local charities come to his farm and pick the fruit themselves so that it does not go to waste.
