Coronavirus: Why do fruit and vegetable prices seem so high?

Grant Neighbourly Lead from Johnsonville

www.stuff.co.nz...

'..."Shelves have been emptied, now shops will have to sell their expensive stock first and as products start to build up again you'll see prices fall at the market and you'll see prices fall next week at retail too."
The problem of high prices lies with panic buying putting pressure on supply chains....'

The above quoted text from the story suggests that prices should drop again soon, particularly if people only buy what they need for their immediate needs to help allow the supply chains to catch up.
