17 July 2025
Food prices increased 4.6 percent in the 12 months to June 2025, following a 4.4 percent increase in the 12 months to May 2025, according to figures released by Stats NZ today.
Higher prices for the grocery food group and the meat, poultry, and fish group contributed most to the annual increase in food prices, up 4.7 percent and 6.4 percent, respectively.
The price increase for the grocery food group was due to higher prices for milk, butter, and cheese.
“Dairy products continue to drive the higher cost in food prices,” prices and deflators spokesperson Nicola Growden said.
