Heavy rain hurts supply of spinach and other greens in NZ

Wet weather which has been hammering parts of New Zealand has damaged green vegetable supply across the country which has seen prices increase.

Spinach and other greens such as beans, broccoli, salads, silverbeet and lettuce are all in short supply, Foodstuffs spokesperson Antoinette Laird says.

"Customers may notice the retail price of these vegetables is higher than usual."

"There are definite challenges at the moment across a variety of fruit and veges around the country due to the weather; overall there is less supply available as produce is obviously highly susceptible to weather conditions," a Countdown spokesperson says.
