12.1% food inflation

Another 30+ year high for food inflation. The longer it goes on, the bigger the cumulative impact on Kiwi households.

This is how much food prices have increased since 2017:

All food 27%
Fruit 36%
Vegetables 51%
Cheese 50%
Eggs 100%

Who has had their income go up 27% to cover a 27% increase in food costs?
