Higher prices in March for avocado, tomato, bacon, eggs, and bread are putting the heat on the price of making brunch at home, Stats NZ said today.
Avocado prices more than doubled in March compared with February 2019.
"Avocado prices usually rise early in the year, and reach their highest levels around June," consumer prices manager Gael Price said. "However, this March's increase was much bigger than usual. Avocado prices were $4.29 per 200g avocado, up from $3.12 per 200g in March 2018."
Tomatoes cost an average of $5.20 a kilo in March 2019, 44 percent higher than February 2019 and 12 percent higher than March 2018.
