Blueberry prices have surged around the nation and strawberry prices look set to follow.If blueberries have seemed expensive this week — you're right.
In Alice Springs, blueberries were selling in Woolworths for $9.50 a punnet, with the supermarket attaching an explainer on why the berries were so expensive. "So prices at the moment are a little bit inflated and will continue that way for another two to three weeks before we see a reduction to more normal pricing."Meanwhile, strawberry lovers are paying around $6 a punnet in many parts of Australia and have been told to expect prices to go higher in the coming weeks.
Mr Schultz said the delays would impact prices in the short term, particularly after production finished up in Victoria.
