Increase in producer prices for horticultural products

Prices for horticultural products have increased by 8.8 % compared to October.

Prices for leeks have increased by 9.5 % in November 2018, just as prices for witloof chicory (+23.5 %), escarole (+47.2 %) and cabbage lettuce under glass (+121.1 %).

Animal production registers a 11.7 % decrease in the output price for chickens for roasting. The price per 100 kg amounted in November to 77.50 euros, which is 10.9 % cheaper than in the same month the year before.
