The cost of food continues to climb with New Zealand among countries that have seen the biggest increases over the past 12 months.
A new report from World Vision shows Aotearoa saw an increase of more than 50 percent in the cost of the ten most popular food items, such as rice, bananas, chicken, tomatoes, eggs and oil.
This is despite the price of food trending down in some countries, including across the Tasman.
World Vision's Head of Advocacy and Justice, Rebecca Armstrong, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
