LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - Simon Roberts, the chief
executive of Britain's no.2 supermarket Sainsbury's ,
said the availability of salad products in its stores had
"pretty much" recovered although there were still some issues
with peppers.
British shoppers faced a shortage of tomatoes, cucumbers and
peppers earlier this year after disrupted harvests in north
Africa reduced supply, while inflation forced industry buyers to
spend more on less from key markets such as Spain.
