The Easter break has increased demand for the food service sector over the past 10 days. Recent colder weather should also further increase domestic consumption. Wet weather conditions have slowed planting progress over the last 5 days. Again, there is a lot of variation in plantings completion rates across the country.
In Scotland, it was reported that good planting progress has been made last week but some growers are in no hurry to start. Progress was about 30-40% complete last week. In the U.K. growth rates are slow due to cold weather conditions and nighttime frost.
