Banana shortage hits Australian supermarkets after Queensland cold weather
Original: Tricky time for lunchboxes: banana shortage hits supermarket shelves after cool weather in Queensland By Jonathan Barret
Australian supermarkets are facing a shortage of bananas after cool weather in Queensland, the country's main growing region, slowed supply. The lack of bananas coincides with a poor apple harvest and a shortage of summer stone fruit, leaving shoppers with fewer fresh fruit options, with lunchboxes particularly affected as families feel the squeeze at the checkout.
Why now: Cool weather in Queensland has cut banana supply, and the wider fruit shortfall is affecting shoppers and lunchbox planning.
