Comment: There is increased uncertainty for the food service sector as the country enters into a new phase of regional lockdowns. Digging of new-season prepacked Rooster are beginning this week and should be on the shelves in the coming days. Any remaining Rooster stock continues to clear. The Queens market remains quite strong and has stabilised over the last week, with reports of excellent quality.
In the UK, markets remain subdued and there is continued pressure on price across all sectors, with supply largely exceeding demand for the moment. However, it is likely that overall yields will be back on last year due to the low tuber numbers under crops.
