2018 has been a tough year for farmers, the cold weather in March followed by record-breaking warm weather in June had a big impact on crops. Onions are no exception, the British Onions Association say this Autumn's crop is 40% smaller than in previous years. Once harvested, onions are stored and sold for the rest of the year. However growers have warned that stores will run short by April 2019, meaning supermarkets will need to import from the Southern Hemisphere. Melanie Abbott finds out which other vegetables will be in short supply. First broadcast on You & Yours, 5 November 2018.
