A downturn in the UK economy, shortages of fruit and vegetables in supermarkets

Kathmandu. In UK, it has been banned to buy more than 2 potatoes and tomatoes. There is also a shortage of fruits and vegetables. Limits are set in supermarkets. Even by paying money, you cannot buy things like potatoes and tomatoes in large quantities. You can't buy more than 2 potatoes or tomatoes in the UK's biggest supermarket.

This is not a matter of any one UK supermarket, but of almost all of them. The British economy is going through a recession. Along with this, inflation is also at its peak. Meanwhile, the food shortage is now alarming.

The UK's 4 biggest supermarkets, Morrisons, Asda, Aldi and Tesco, have imposed limits on fresh fruit and vegetables. These include perishable fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, capsicums and broccoli. The UK's third largest grocer, was the first to set the limit. By Wednesday, Aldi and Tesco had joined Morrisons. Fruit and vegetables are missing from shops in East London, Liverpool and many parts of the UK.

Stores have introduced limits on items such as tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, lettuce, bagged lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower and raspberries. The British Retail Consortium, which represents major supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsbury's, says the supply problem is huge. Pictures of empty shelves in supermarkets are going viral on social media.
