UK supermarkets are warning of potential food shortages that could last for months due to devastating floods in Spain that have destroyed a significant amount of farmland. The floods have severely impacted the production of fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly items like tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and raspberries, which are heavily exported to the UK.

Spain’s role as a major exporter means that the damage to crops could lead to notable shortages in UK supermarkets. The UK government is currently assessing the potential impact on supply chains and is ready to support the food industry if necessary. Experts indicate that it may take at least two growing seasons for Spanish farmers to fully recover and resume normal production levels.
