鬧菜荒! 英國幾大超市限購西蘭花和萵苣!

British supermarkets have taken to rationing vegetables after bad weather hit growing conditions in Spain, leading to a shortage in supplies that is set to continue through to March.

由於西班牙的蔬菜生長條件遭受惡劣天氣影響，英國出現蔬菜供應短缺，預計短缺問題將一直持續至3月。因此，英國超市已開始實施蔬菜配給制。

Spain is the biggest producer and exporter of fruit and vegetables in the EU and Britain and France are its two biggest export markets.

西班牙是歐盟最大的果蔬生產國和出口國，英國和法國是它最大的兩個出口市場。

Britain's big four supermarkets Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons have all imposed restrictions on bulk purchases.

英國四大超市樂購、英佰瑞、艾斯達和莫里森均已限制大量購買。

Tesco has restricted customers to three iceberg lettuces per visit. Morrisons also limited shoppers to three heads of broccoli and three iceberg lettuces per customer.

樂購限制消費者每次購買3個捲心萵苣，莫里森也限制消費者每人購買西蘭花3個、捲心萵苣3個。

Asda has introduced a ban on bulk purchases of iceberg lettuce, eggplant, broccoli, zucchini and cabbage.

艾斯達對捲心萵苣、茄子、西蘭花、西葫蘆和捲心菜均實施限購。

A spokeswoman for Sainsbury's, Britain's second-largest supermarket group, said it was working with suppliers to maintain supply but customers would be prevented from making bulk purchases.

英國第二大超市集團英佰瑞的一位發言人表示，雖然該超市仍與供應商保持供應，但顧客將無法進行批量採購。

Britain's major supermarket chains tend to have long-term contracts with suppliers, providing some price stability.

英國各大連鎖超市往往會與供應商簽訂長期合同，保證一定的物價穩定度。
