Coventry market: fruit and vegetable shortage

CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

Major UK supermarkets have been placing limits on fruit and vegetable sales after shortages. The government and industry have blamed bad weather in Spain and North Africa for the squeeze. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the UK's supply chain was "highly resilient" and "well-equipped" to deal with disruption. BBC CWR reporter Trent Hutson has been talking to traders in Coventry to find out how they're dealing with a lack of supply.
