The Auckland flood leads to vegetable and fruit price hike in New Zealand.
Flooding in the upper North Island affected food safety. Excessive rainfall has affected the quality and shelf life of numerous crops. As a result, Consumers should be prepared for fresh vegetable shortages in the coming weeks, according to United Fresh New Zealand. Flooding exposes fresh vegetables to microbial contamination. If floodwaters come into contact with the edible component of the crop, it is considered polluted and will not be harvested. Harvest-ready crops must be checked for pathogenic microbes and confined until they are declared safe to eat.
