A major Tasmania grower says the lettuce shortage in Australia is caused by the recent wet weather on the mainland, and the supply from Tasmania will not be able to meet demand.

The price of lettuce has skyrocketed – to $12 for one iceberg lettuce in some parts of the country – as Australia continues to deal with fresh produce shortages.

Bill Bulmer, Victorian lettuce grower and chair of the industry body for the Australian vegetable producers, AUSVEG, told 3AW that the price hikes won’t stop any time soon.

He said Aussies can expect to see shortages of lettuce, capsicum and spinach to continue for at least the next three months, with another veggie joining them on the chopping block.

“Then, probably, the looming shortage coming into spring is going to be onions,” he said.

Supermarket giant Woolworths has also advised customers it is experiencing a slight disruption with some other vegetables including Lebanese cucumbers, kale, fresh herbs, zucchini, beans, tomatoes, capsicum, berries, broccoli and spinach.
