Show Notes
Avocados are due to return to supermarket shelves shortly as prices soar to more than five dollars each.
A Rabobank report shows this year's production will be lower than last due to wet weather events.
Foodstuffs' Brigit Corson told Kate Hawkesby they haven't been able to bridge the gap while avocados are out of season, hence the higher price.
She says it hasn't been a good growing year and combined with the cyclone and poor weather they ran out.
