Potato prices almost double in a decade

The price of potatoes has almost doubled in the last 10 years, according to Statistics New Zealand.

In 2006, potatoes cost $1.10 a kilo – that had risen to $2.10 in September this year.

Potato prices hit a 10-year high of $2.25 a kilo in January this year.

Unseasonable weather created planting and harvesting problems this month, leading to a shortage of potatoes used for crisps.
