Show Notes
Kiwis are feeling the pinch in grocery prices as the Christmas period nears.
The latest Infometrics-Foodstuffs New Zealand Grocery Supplier Cost Index data shows cost increases from suppliers to supermarkets have risen by more than 10 percent in November.
Around seven-thousand-800 items increased in cost, nearly three times as many items as in November 2019.
Vegetables NZ chair John Murphy told Roman Travers that they've had to make up for lost time due to weather, which has played into supply woes.
He says they're struggling to keep up with demand, but do see that easing closer to Christmas.
