The trend in many countries at this time is that cucumber prices are trending higher. A recent TikTok video craze has also led to higher consumption in the Netherlands and Iceland as people seek to emulate these online trends. In Spain’s Almería, an improvement in availability of cucumber volumes is expected. In Italy, cucumbers have high prices with even higher demand. Cucumber prices have been very high for several weeks due to the weather that has slowed down production. In Germany, prices have increased too. Dutch and Belgian supply dominates the market. In the Netherlands and Belgium exceptionally high cucumber prices were seen during August. The TikTok craze can not entirely explain the high prices, while supply was not short either. Over in Iceland cucumbers were all the rage, but fortunately for consumers prices were not higher despite a dip in volumes. France has seen steady volumes, while high price levels remain.
