Turkey has jumped from £4.21 per kilo to £4.29, an increase of four per cent, while mince pies have increased five per cent from £2.75 to £2.88 for a pack of six. Farmers have said wet weather has played a major part in the price of root vegetables going up, with conditions leading to a lower crop yield Tracy Bush, co-director of Provenance Potatoes in Kent, told the BBC: “We’ve had a particularly wet spring so planting was difficult for any root crops, and then the autumn when crops are lifted and harvested, that was also very difficult.” Overall, the average cost of Christmas dinner for four will be around 96p higher than last year, with just the essentials coming to £18.60 – an increase of five per cent. In December 2019, the average cost of Christmas dinner essentials was £15.46 – around 20 per cent cheaper than this year. So much so that farmers are predicting the average sprout will be 25 per cent bigger this year – but whether or not that’s good news is down to preference.
