Lockyer Valley farmers are warning consumers if there is no rainfall this summer, the drought will affect the price of vegetables.

The President of the Lockyer Valley Growers Association says farmers have enough underground water to get them through until next year, but if dry conditions persist throughout summer, vegetable production will be cut next winter and increase the price of lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage.

The Lockyer Valley region has had insufficient rainfall since 2013 and was officially drought declared in May this year.
