Veggie prices could double as fertiliser costs soar across Australia

Australian families are bracing for a significant blow to their grocery budgets, with vegetable prices expected to double as fertiliser costs surge across the country.

Fertiliser prices have jumped dramatically from around $800 a tonne to $2,000 a tonne, representing a staggering 50 per cent increase in some markets.

The price hike is placing enormous pressure on Australia’s food production sector, as dry conditions and rising costs force farmers to reconsider their winter planting strategies. #vegetables #vegetableprices #costofliving #fertiliser #farming
