Apple prices surging (the fruit) apparently

Fruit prices rose 12%

Says Stats NZ ... "Apple prices usually rise in January months and are now at their highest level ever - with a kilo of apples at $5.04 compared with $3.60 last month, a rise of 40 percent"

OK, just so this doesn't win an award as THE most boring FXL article ever ... here is some educational content...

  • "Apples have been in short supply so far this year and this is reflected in higher prices"

Unless its manipulation, I suppose :-D
