UK Brassica Crop Yields for 2025 Expected to be Tight Due to Extreme Weather Conditions
UK producers are voicing concerns over brassica crop yields for 2025, which experts have described as “tight.” This situation is largely attributed to prolonged periods of warm weather, including four distinct heatwaves that have adversely affected overall food production.
According to a recent report by Peloton Produce, the average yield for many crops has declined significantly, averaging only around 65% of expected output. More alarmingly, brassica yields have fallen to just 50%. This drastic reduction in yield is prompting producers to call for urgent intervention.
