Does anyone know if there is up to date published data on Courgette prices?

Unbelievably, there is data produced by the Government on fruit and veg prices but it isn't complete:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/wholesale-fruit-and-vegetable-prices-weekly-average

Isn't this the worst possible outcome? The dataset is terrible but we pay for it to be produced anyway.

According to data from Mintec, prices of courgettes always spike in winter with this year's being about typical and less than during The Great Courgette Famine of 2015 which our grand-kids will ask us about in years to come.

Fascinating! Of course that's in EUR.

Thank you! Whilst the usual suspects will mock, there is a quite unique opportunity present to study the effect of severe shortages on market value. Diolch yn fawr.

I bet the EU won't withdraw its sanctions on bendy bananas

Did anyone see QT last night? A real person actually cited a bendy banana as the reason she changed her vote from Remain to Leave. Incredible that such important matters can swing the nation's course.

Could the price of courgettes be the reason why May calls an early election and leads to the emergence of a new British coalition government pledged to rejoin the land of straight bananas?

The thing is, this lettuce and courgette story has nothing to do with Brexit. Other than some people prefer Romaine.
