Clearly, about 60 seconds research would saved you making a false statement …
We produce 100,000 tonnes annually, across 20 nurseries, all of them using indoor facilities. These do not operate seasonally - they’re in heated greenhouses, negating the whole concept of seasonal production.

The UK consumes 500,000 tonnes of tomatoes per year, so domestic production covers 20% of that, which is none too shabby considering we don’t have a tomato-growing climate.

Even without Googling, this should have been fairly obvious. Greg Wallace seems to visit these sorts of places on a near weekly basis for one BBC programme or another.
