Transport costs must have a negative effect on Guernsey tomato producers.

The Dutch tomato business nearly went bust because it produced tasteless large
tomatoes. It switched to producing main;y tasty cherry tomatoes.


In my local Co-op the other day there were mushrooms from Poland and
asparagus from Peru.

And the asparagus isn't worth it, imo. I believe it's also brought in
from Thailand. I'd rather wait for the short but infinitely more
delightful English asparagus season!
