Poland: high prices of leeks

In the current season, prices of leeks remain high. On Friday, January 8th the wholesale price of leeks was 3 - 5 PLN (0.73-1.22 euro)/kg. High prices are caused by small supply of leeks on the market.

The part of this vegetable remained in the fields due to frost. In the same period last year, the prices of leeks did not exceed 3 PLN (0.73 euro)/kg.

One can expect that the import of leeks will start earlier than last year.
