Broccoli harvest hit by heatwave and lack of water

Severe heatwave and lack of water lead to significant drop in broccoli harvest in UK, with some areas reporting yields down by over 50%. Farmers are struggling with dry soils and poor crop quality, warning consumers of smaller vegetables on shelves and potential supply shortages. British Growers Association admits tight brassica supplies but expects better harvests in wetter regions to ensure supermarket availability despite challenging weather conditions.
