Unexpected Surge in UK Strawberry Harvest Due to Weather Fluctuations

A combination of wet and warm weather has led to a bumper crop, with significant yields expected through August.

British supermarkets are set to receive an extra 200 tonnes of strawberries in the coming weeks.
The delayed ripening period has resulted in particularly large and juicy berries.
Growers report an additional 40 to 50 tonnes of strawberries per week until the end of August.
Despite the bumper crop, the long-term outlook for British berry growers remains uncertain due to rising costs and poor pay from supermarkets.
Strawberries continue to be a top choice for UK shoppers, with record sales over the past year.
