Fruit and vegetable prices up in
July – Media release
12 August 2021
Food prices were up 1.3 percent in July 2021
compared with June 2021, mainly influenced by higher prices for fruit and
vegetables, and grocery foods, Stats NZ said today.
“Fruit and vegetable prices generally rise
in winter as lots of summer produce is out of season and becomes more expensive,”
consumer prices manager Katrina Dewbery said.
The rise in fruit and vegetable prices was
mainly influenced by higher prices for tomatoes (up 21 percent), broccoli
(up 39 percent), and strawberries (up 34 percent).
