The supermarkets!
Fuel up, packaging up, fertiliser up, wages up and the farmer is supposed to stand all that and keep his prices the same.
I'm also in the industry and the people I supply have got as many Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Iceberg as they want, because they are prepared to pay the going price. The Supermarkets aren't.
Why sell to a British supermarket, so they can sell a cucumber for 69p when you can sell to a French Supermarket and get a far better price and not have to transport it anywhere near as far .
Nothing to do with Brexit, just market forces.
