In July 2021, the overall agricultural and horticultural price index in Belgium was 35.4% higher than in July 2020. The indices for vegetables and potatoes explain this increase.
It is especially the indices for greenhouse vegetables that have risen and returned to a level similar to that of 2015, the base year: +76.2% compared to July 2020 and +33.2% compared to June 2021. The potato index, for its part, had fallen sharply in July of last year and this year has returned to a level comparable to previous years.
