New Zealand Food Prices Increasd 28.5% Over the Last Year

I feel pretty silly for being coy about mentioning specifics related to the food situation here in New Zealand recently. Look at what was plastered across the New Zealand Herald front page today, in Second-Coming-of-Jeebis typeface:


Front page, New Zealand Herald, April 26, 2008

Via: New Zealand Herald:

Shoppers can expect price rises on all the supermarket shelves as the full force of the global food crisis is felt in New Zealand.

An average trolley of food cost 28.5 per cent more this week than a year ago, mainly because of huge price increases in dairy products.

A Weekend Herald survey of industry bodies, major producers and economists found unanimous agreement that all other major foods will go up this year – if they haven’t already.
