Tomatoes and cucumbers (pexels photo)
The heat wave not only causes an increase in our electricity bill, but also an increase in the prices of fruits and vegetables. Cucumbers, zucchini and red peppers already went up in price last week by about 30%, and now the vegetable industry announces that it will raise the prices of tomatoes starting today.
The vegetable especially loved by the Israelis will become more expensive not only because of the heavy heat that wets the growth and reduces the harvest, but also because of the fallow year (which ends in two weeks), and also because of a lack of imports, which has been affected along with the global supply chain.

Estimates are that today’s price increase is not the end, and towards the holidays the prices will increase even more, so it may be better to do the holiday shopping earlier.
However, the marketing chains know very well that the Israelis are not suckers and will not buy at any price. Accordingly, they will try to fight the increase in prices through pressure on farmers and importers, and also through various promotions.

According to the study, the most severely affected crop is the grain – corn, followed by the tomato and further down the list are other vegetables and fruits. “We have data-driven evidence to ask and answer the question, ‘How can vegetables beat the weather?'” the study says.
According to the study, following the severe crisis, a significant commodity crisis is expected in the United States and later throughout the world. Something that will lead to an increase in prices, and can even reach a situation where there will simply be no vegetables on the shelves in markets and supermarkets.
