Seasonally cheaper fruit and vegetables have contributed to falling food prices during September.

The latest figures from Statistics New Zealand show fruit and vege prices dropped 6.5 percent last month, and veges alone dropped 11 percent.

Food prices over all dropped by nearly a percent, a figure slightly pushed up a 4.4 percent increase in the price of cakes and biscuits.
