Pavlova price up 42 pc over past 10 years, and more to come

Your summer pavlova costs more than 40 per cent more to make this year than it did 10 years ago - and commentators think that trend will continue.

Stats NZ data shows it costs $11.07 to acquire all the ingredients for a pavlova this year. Ten years ago, it was $7.88.

The cost of cream was the biggest contributor to the increase - 300ml was $1.50 in 2007 but $2.62 this year.

Kiwifruit also increased 55 per cent in price, from 44c for 200g in 2007 to 68c.
