A shortage of salad and other vegetables has led some UK supermarkets to ration fresh produce, with cold weather, Brexit, and increased production costs all blamed for the situation.

We would like to speak to international hauliers and others involved in the transportation and importing of fresh produce from Europe to the UK. What can you tell us about the shortages? In your experience, what factors are causing them where you are? What can be done differently?
