Agriculture Ministry warns of short-term pepper shortage

The Agriculture Ministry warns shoppers of a bell pepper shortage that is expected to last two-three weeks.

The ministry says Israelis may experience higher prices on the vegetable in the coming weeks due to weather conditions this past winter that delayed harvests, but quote experts as saying July and August will see costs lowered and bell peppers flooding the markets.
