Christmas spuds push Veg-2-Gro sales up for July vs 2019

 

Despite being significantly down on last year when everyone was still catching up after #Lockdown 1, July’s Veg-2-Gro sales in the GTN Bestsellers EPOS data were 31% ahead of July 2019.

 

Last week the main sellers were Autumn planting seed potatoes for Christmas harvesting. The five lines at the top of the GTN chart accounted for 40% of all the Top 50 Veg-2-Gro volume sales.

 

Highlights of the week were:

  • Taylors Autumn Planting Seed Potatoes Maris Peer is the bestselling variety again this week. It’s been at No 1 for three weeks now.
  • Taylors Autumn Planting Seed Potatoes Sharpes Express saw a big increase in popularity last week climbing 41 places up to No 6.
  • Farplants Coriander 9cm is the highest re-entry for the week at No 9.
