    Tomato, courgette and potato prices have fallen off the record prices they hit last year

    Tomato, courgette and potato prices have fallen off the record prices they hit last year


    Spuds climbed to $2..51 cents per kilo during April, tomatoes hit $13..65 in August and courgettes rose to $29.60 in July.

    Stat NZ's Katrina Dewbery says this helped drive up food price inflation to nearly 3 percent, but tomatoes are now much cheaper.

    They've fallen to a seasonal price of $3.33 and spuds are at $2.41 a kilo.
