A major supermarket chain is warning of vegetable shortages after more rain flooded parts of the East Coast of the North Island last week.
Countdown released a statement to customers today explaining several different types of produce will be in short supply “for at least a few days”.
This includes bagged salads, lettuce, broccoli, and mandarins.
“Unfortunately, it may take some time before the situation improves,” the statement read.
The statement said the shortage is due to significant transport difficulties from key suppliers in Tairāwhiti and Hawke’s Bay
