Vegetable prices jumped 24% in the September quarter, Stats NZ says. Fans of salad and stir-fry are feeling the pinch as vegetable prices continue to soar. Data from Stats NZ shows vegetable prices jumped 24% in the September quarter, the category’s largest quarterly rise since 1999. The increase was driven by higher prices for tomatoes, lettuce and broccoli. Unfortunately for vegetable fans, that means there is less to go around and, naturally, prices rise.
