"Volumes are not excessive. In the past few years, produce from Latina and Campania was also available during this period but it is not the case this year. Consumption though decreased with respect to a few years ago."
The only exception is represented by purple aubergines, whose prices are around €1.50/kg because volumes are scarce. "Sicilian production is almost over and the local production is scarce."
Prices are expected to be stable over the next few weeks.
