Import is super cheap unless it's something perishable like fresh fish and salad and needs to come over via plane. Local delivery normally costs much more.

In NZ right now a kilo of tomatoes is on par with one kilo of chicken.

Tomatoes are $18NZD/kg in Fiji right now. Imported from NZ.

We can't produce our own tomatoes in the hot months. Prices should drop massively come July.
