Rubbish Fruit & Veg from Egypt

Climate change, innit? Moroccan citrus production this season is down by 35% on the same season last year, due to water shortage and unfavourable weather. The reduced production is still of high quality but, because of the low volume, is scarce and prices are high. Retailers have to choose between offering a limited amount of high-quality but expensive produce, or a steadier, cheaper supply of fruit from other regions.

Expect more of this.

What shop is that and where? (Kerry I hope!)

I was living in Drogheda until last year and ditto, the Polish shop there had absolutely amazing fruit ! A bit of a pain to go there specially and it was in the middle of the town unlike Lidl/Aldi etc.................but it was well worth it!

I'm now in Kerry so if you know somewhere good I'll give them my business too.

I agree with the first post although we really shouldn't be buying out of season fruits.........strawberries in January is just something we don't need and shouldn't really support with climate change and the carbon emmissions it takes to get them here . I don't mind apples and pears from France/Spain etc if I can't get Irish ones, but anywhere outside of Europe I don't buy. A lot of our apples come from New Zealand....crazy !!

Only 6 years old and thriving and the amount of business it brought into the area pleased them all and in Dublin.

Stocked up on the 49c 250g grapes from Aldi last week. They came from S Africa, Namibia, Peru. They were tasty and fine.

thanks, will do!
