From Nights, 10:19 pm on 31 October 2023

New Zealand household food spending now averages around $238 per household per week - up nine per cent on a year ago, Research by Rabobank and Kiwiharvest has found. Households are also making minor changes to try to keep their weekly food bills down, even being more willing to buy 'imperfect' fruit and veg. Rabobank Head of Sustainable Business Development Blake Holgate joins Nights.
