Woolworths, like all Australian produce grocers, is very aware of the impact that inflation is having on Australian families.

A spokesperson from Woolworths said that a range of factors such as commodity prices, electricity, transport, raw materials and labour could influence the increasing prices of shelf stock, driven by higher wholesale costs from suppliers, varying from product to product.
“We are always working to sensitively manage these pressures and deliver value for our customers, which is why we offer more than 6,000 specials every week,” said a spokesperson.
Across Woolworth’s vegetable range, there are currently lower prices than that of the same time in 2022. This has been linked to better growing conditions.
The supply of fresh fruit and vegetables in 2022 was impacted by heavy rains and weather disturbances in key growing areas. With far better weather in 2023, there has been a great supply of produce, which has helped to deliver value and quality.

Woolworths has advised customers to always shop in season. Its Odd Bunch fruit and vegetable range has seen a significant uptake as well, priced at least 20 percent off the standard shelf price across a range of popular fresh products.
