Disappointing Danish Harvest Drives Up Nordmann Fir Prices in Netherlands
What happened
A disappointing harvest of Nordmann firs in Denmark has reduced supply, leading to expected price increases for consumers in the Netherlands. The price of a 2.5-meter tree is projected to rise by about 10 euros compared to last year. This increase is attributed to the reduced supply and rising transportation costs from Denmark to the Netherlands.

Why it matters
The reduced supply of the Nordmann fir, a variety frequently chosen by Dutch households, is pushing up market prices. Additionally, transport costs have risen significantly, increasing from 1,300 euros to 1,800 euros per truck due to higher diesel prices, tolls, and driver wages.
