"We've become the largest producers of green asparagus in Europe and the second-biggest producers in the world"
The first green asparagus began to sprout in small quantities as early as January in Granada, which is unusually early and a consequence of the spring temperatures at the start of winter. The cold spell there's been since mid-January has paralyzed plant growth and will delay the harvest until early March. In the meantime, Spanish importers are moving from Peru to Mexico.
