Is it the new toilet roll crisis

Some supermarkets are experiencing veg and salad shortages due to poor growing conditions in Spain and North Africa.

Is this the new panic buying crisis like we had with toilet rolls and tinned tomatoes or has the government's campaign to get children to eat vegetables worked too well (eat them to defeat them) 🤔?

Salad and veg have a limited life, unlike loo roll, which would preclude panic over buying.

I was referring to the media hyping the situation which is possibly making people panic.

Smaller shops, unlike supermarkets are happy to pay the new higher wholesale prices and pass it in to the consumer and as a result have stock whereas supermarkets have stricter buying constraints and won't pay the higher price hence why we are seeing empty supermarket shelves.
