Glasshouse strawberries tailing off, volumes are building in the tunnels The English strawberry season got off to a slow start and is still running behind schedule due to continued colder than average weather. “The strawberry crop is around 10 days behind,” said Chris Rose, Commercial Controller at Asplins Producer Organisation. “The Scottish season is more on track which may cause over-supply later in the season.” According to Chris the glasshouse crop is tailing off and volumes are building in the tunnels. “The fruit is looking very good, the cooler temperatures give good sized and good quality berries. Demand is also good due the shorter supply and imported Spanish fruit is looking a bit tired.”
