Does anyone know if there is up to date published data on Courgette prices?

I had a quick look and the ONS does measure the price of courgettes as part of the CPI basket. I don't know if they publish the figures for each item separately anywhere, but you could email them and ask.

Isn't it a bit like house prices? Courgette prices haven't changed, it is just that transaction volumes are way down.
Then again the price of strawberries also varies sharply over the year without anyone suggesting that it is inflationary....I think....0 -
Courgette prices have soared - supply is basically non existent. I thought it would be interesting to see a graph, I wasn't sure if there was an index like there is for soy, wheat etc.0

I blame lettuce rationing.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Of course with AGW and the loss of bio-diversity we can more and more expect price to start rationing even basic foodstuffs but it is unlikely we will notice as it will start small with courgettes and Broccoli and then perhaps bananas and honey and so on and then in a few years we will remember the good old days when you could go to a supermarket and actually buy what you wanted rather than queueing for hours to get what is available...I think....0

I can't think of a good reason to buy one lettuce. Never mind three. Practically no calories and very limited nutritional value. It must be about the highest carbon and water footprint of any foodstuff."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -
I'm sure I can remember an episode of the 2 Ronnies where in the "news section" Ronnie B claimed that the pound had fallen to 2.4 against the matabeeli gumbo bean,
Psychic or what?
