After months of paying as much as $10 for a head of lettuce, shoppers can expect some relief with Queensland growers bouncing back, three months after devastating floods.
Toowoomba-based greengrocer Bevan Betros said prices had halved in recent weeks.
"There may be some gaps in the plantings due to the floods and what people were able to do when they could get on and off their property."Mr Betros said he expected prices would continue to fall heading into October."We should be getting down under $2 again, hopefully in September."But don't get used to it
Director of Coastal Hydroponics on the Gold Coast and Growcom chairwoman Belinda Frentz said a price reduction would likely be short term.
