Spain's agriculture minister said on Wednesday that bad planning by Britain and problems caused by Brexit as well as cold weather were the main reasons behind a shortage of salad items there. British supermarket chains including Tesco have imposed limits on customer purchases of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers after supplies across the supermarket sector were hit by disrupted harvests in southern Europe and North Africa due to unseasonable weather. "There is a problem of programming the purchases, which is quite important, and then there has been a lower production as a result of the low temperatures," Agriculture Minister Luis Planas said during an event on Wednesday.
