One of the country's biggest vegetable producers says it is losing thousands of pounds a week and having to throw away food due to a labour shortage.
The workforce at Alfred G Pearce, based near King's Lynn, Norfolk, is 20% to 30% down on previous years.
Business development manager Jack Pearce said the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit were to blame.
The Home Office said employers should "invest in the domestic work force" rather than labour from abroad.
A second company, Freshlands Farm, based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, said it had lost tens of thousands of pumpkins as it had not been able to hire any workers to clear weeds from the fields.

A pub landlady has won her court fight with the English Premier League over using a Greek TV decoder to show games.
Karen Murphy has paid nearly £8,000 in fines and costs for using the cheaper decoder in her Portsmouth pub.
But she took her case to the European Court of Justice (ECJ). It found partly in her favour, and now the High Court in London has also found in her favour.
However, the Premier League said it still had the right "to prevent the unauthorised use of our copyrights".
The complicated case has been closely watched as it could trigger a major shake-up in the way football TV rights are sold, and potentially pave the way to cheaper viewing of foreign broadcasts for fans of top-flight English games.
Bypass
Ms Murphy has spent six years fighting a prosecution for showing live football at the Red White and Blue pub without a Sky subscription.
Instead of using Sky, on which it costs £700 a month to see Premier League matches, she used the Greek TV station Nova, which has the rights to screen the games in Greece, and which cost her £800 a year.
She took her fight for the right to use the cheaper provider to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which ruled in October 2011 that having an exclusive system was "contrary to EU law". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17150054
Nando's says it will lend some of its staff to its suppliers to help "get things moving" in the supply chain after shortages hit some of its shops.
The restaurant group has had to shut around 50 outlets temporarily after apparently running short of its staple fare: peri peri chicken.
Customers were quick to react online, complaining about local closures.
"The UK supply chain is having a bit of a [night]'mare right now," Nando's tweeted in reply.
"This is having a knock-on effect with some of our restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales."
Nando's said the shortages were not affecting any of their outlets in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58249337

Taps run dry in UK pubs as lorry driver shortages hit beer supplies
A Scottish pub group said some businesses “will go bankrupt this week and next week because of this distribution chaos”.
Pubs are struggling with beer supplies because of lorry driver shortages, with many having to stop serving until supply chain issues get resolved.
Watering holes across the country are at risk of drying up completely over the back end of the summer, with large pub chains hit particularly badly, according to reports.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive at the British Beer and Pub Association, has urged the government to put lorry drivers on the list of occupations facing shortages post-Brexit. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/ ... a_j-q8zuEg
