TL;DR
- Brussels sprout harvest is ongoing.
- This season's yield is lower than last year due to dry and warm weather.
- The crop was affected by insects early on but was protected with pesticides.
- Brussels sprouts are becoming more popular in domestic diets, often purchased by young homemakers.
- The vegetable is nutritious, rich in vitamins C and A, proteins, fiber, and minerals.
- Wholesale price is around 220 dinars per kilogram, and retail is 300 dinars for half a kilogram.
- Growers often cultivate other brassicas like cabbage and cauliflower to mitigate risks.
