New Zealand food prices rise 0.3 percent in December
Posted on 14:23 by nice news
In December 2014, food prices rose 0.3 percent, Statistics New Zealand said today. This follows a 0.5 percent fall in November, and no overall change in October.
“Higher prices for fruit, yoghurt, and chicken were partly countered by lower prices for some dairy products,” prices manager Chris Pike said.
In December, fruit and vegetable prices rose 1.4 percent, influenced by higher fruit prices (up 4.2 percent), including kiwifruit, apples, and oranges. Lower vegetable prices (down 0.8 percent) were influenced by price falls for tomatoes, broccoli, and lettuce, partly offset by higher prices for potatoes and pumpkin.
Meat, poultry, and fish prices rose 0.9 percent, with higher prices for chicken (up 2.6 percent) and processed meat (up 1.6 percent) being partly offset by lower prices for beef (down 1.0 percent). Chicken prices are now at their highest level, which is 1.1 percent higher than their previous peak in December 2013.
Grocery food prices fell 0.7 percent, influenced by lower prices for most dairy products. Price falls for cheese (down 5.1 percent), fresh milk (down 1.7 percent), and butter (down 10 percent) were offset by higher prices for yoghurt (up 14 percent).
