At Aldi, Lidl and Co., customers will soon have to expect further delivery bottlenecks. Canned tomatoes are now also affected. We have summarized what you need to know now here.
There might soon be supply bottlenecks for canned tomatoes in Germany. This should probably also be associated with price increases. Like the “Lebensmittel Zeitung” reportedthis is due to several reasons.
Most of the tomatoes come from Italy. However, many farmers there now rely on other products. Cereals and feed corn are currently very popular because of the higher profit opportunities. According to Andreas Reimer, managing director of the canning company Hengstenberg, the area under cultivation for tomatoes is falling by around 10 percent.
Aldi, Lidl and Co.: High demand for canned tomatoes means higher prices
In addition, demand is still very high. Even the good harvest of 2021 was not able to ensure that the warehouses were full.
The price of the tomato raw material is currently 18 percent higher than last year’s level. In addition, there are the sharply rising energy prices, which have a major impact on the cooking of canned goods, as well as delivery bottlenecks in packaging. The prices are likely to rise even further.
