Shoppers in the UK have struggled to buy a number of fresh food items over the last few weeks.
Retailers have warned supermarket shelves could remain bare for a number of weeks to come after bad weather in Europe and Africa disrupted supplies. Suppliers in Morocco and Spain have had to contend with cold temperatures, heavy rain, and flooding over the past three to four weeks.
The severe weather conditions have then had a knock-on effect on the ferries which transport the food as these were also cancelled due to bad weather. As a result supermarkets including Asda and Morrisons have been forced to ration certain fruits and vegetables, reported The Mirror.
