Last week, Belgian greenhouse vegetable prices, though still high, fell slightly again. In many cases, higher middle prices were again recorded at VBT auctions in week ten: €3.10/kg for TOV, €0.73 per cucumber, and €2.42 for a kilo of bell peppers, for example.
While there have been green bell peppers for a while already, the first colored bell peppers are slowly emerging from Belgian greenhouses. The first yellow ones fetched a €3.54 median price.
Lettuce prices are also high. There is talk of a decreasing middle price, but that is not evident yet.
Lamb's lettuce's average price has even climbed, contrary to the five-year trend. It should be noted, though, that, unlike many other greenhouse products, no above-average prices were achieved for these products in recent weeks.
In week ten, strawberry prices were quite a bit lower, in line with the five-year average. A kilogram of this red fruit yielded, rounded off, €9.55.
