There are predictions of a “drought” in the future.

Fish and chips” is a British specialty. The hot fried white fish and potatoes are very appetizing. But now, this specialty is in a tight spot. The reason for this is….

 

This month, a heat wave hit Europe. Even in the United Kingdom, many places suffered from the hottest temperatures ever recorded.

 

A spokesman for the British meteorological authority said, “It will be dry for the next few weeks.

 

In addition, a “drought” is predicted in the future.

 

In this situation, potatoes, which are indispensable for fish and chips, are also experiencing a certain anomaly….

 

What we saw in the potato fields of eastern England were countless numbers of potatoes that were discolored and shriveled due to lack of water. If this situation continues, the harvest is expected to decrease by more than 20% compared to last year.

 

Potato farmers “will find it difficult to grow potatoes if the current climate continues.”

 

For fish and chip stores, a poor potato crop would be a major blow.

 

Owner of a fish and chip store: “The price of potatoes will go up, maybe double.

 

In addition, the situation in Ukraine is also putting a damper on the market. As a result of economic sanctions, a high 35% tariff has been imposed on Russian cod and other ingredients.

 

Due to the rising cost of ingredients, there are reports that the number of specialty stores in the country, which number more than 10,000, will be reduced by half….

 

Tourists “find it very disappointing.”

 

In response to the crisis of specialty food, the British government is also considering a response in cooperation with the food and beverage industry.
