There are fewer cauliflowers due to the dry spell. "The supply is noticeably less than average. This will continue due to the dry weather. The other full soil vegetables are, however, growing. There are already leeks available. Though everyone is looking towards the autumn when the large volumes are supplied. We have not heard any bad news yet. We have also not yet heard if the dry weather has had any effect on the cabbage or Brussel sprouts", says  Guy. According to BelOrta, growers are very calm at the moment despite the weather conditions.

Tomatoes, lettuce, chicory, leeks, bell peppers, cucumber, and courgettes are the most consumed vegetables in Belgium. These are supplied in bulk. "Lately, the consumption of vegetables has been fairly stable. Among Belgian consumers, these kinds have been the most popular for years. We are, however, seeing that the so-called forgotten vegetables such as beets, turnips, and beans are gaining popularity", says Guy. The increased attention to health means consumers are eating more healthy. This diet includes fruit and vegetables. BelOrta has, however, noticed that the demand for vegetables has remained relatively stable for years.
