Are food prices a barrier to eating a healthy diet? The report also illustrates the variety of fruits and vegetables affordable to a family on a limited budget. ERS fruit and vegetable prices are updated periodically to coincide with the release of each new version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
When generating estimates using and data, ERS researchers priced similar fruit and vegetable products during both years. However, because of different methods for coding the underlying IRI data, the entry of new products into the market, the exit of old products from the market, and other factors, the data are not suitable for making year-to-year comparisons. These data should not be used for making inferences about price changes over time. Skip to navigation Skip to main content.

Our sauces are made with the highest vitamin and antioxidant fruits and vegetables we could find.
At ReadtheLabl, analysing food prices and their nutritional value is vital to providing our customers with the best possible products. To support our expansion into foreign markets, we commissioned a study into the costs of fruits and vegetables around the world. Considering that vitamin and mineral deficiencies are prevalent worldwide, especially among children from lower socio-economic backgrounds, we decided to also calculate how long a person has to work for in order to be able to afford them in each nation.
The data yielded some interesting results; not only did the price of fruit and vegetables vary quite significantly from country to country, but there was also an enormous disparity in their affordability for people all around the world.
We began the study by selecting a basket of four fruits and twelve vegetables that are commonly found on grocery lists. We then collected the average prices for every item across each country, and calculated how far the price deviated from the global median. To determine affordability based on these prices, we also calculated how many hours on minimum wage a citizen in each country would have to work to meet the recommended daily minimum intake of fruit and vegetables per day, for a whole month.
This intake is recommended as grams of fruit and vegetables per day, according to the World Health Organization. The result is a comparative index that reveals the deviations in prices and affordability of common fruit and vegetables around the world.
Each column in the table below is filterable. By default, the table is ranked by the final column; the hours need to be worked at minimum salary to afford g of fruit and vegetables per day for a month. The full methodology explaining how the percentage deviations and numbers of hours worked for each country were calculated can be found at the bottom of the page. The countries selected were chosen based on the availability of data, as well as to provide a broad cross-section of prices from multiple continents.
The study takes a comprehensive look into the average cost of the below four fruits and twelve vegetables. The fruits and vegetables were chosen due to their popularity as common household staples, as well as for their availability in multiple countries, making them comparable on a global scale.
The index analyses how far the price of each food item deviates from the global median. The individual deviations of all sixteen fruits and vegetables were then averaged to reveal the total deviation for each country. All prices were collected from national supermarket outlets at full price without discount. Below you can find a description of price collection methods, deviation and affordability calculations expressed in terms of hours of work on minimum wage. If a supermarket offered g packages and g packages, the g package was chosen.
The price was then divided by and multiplied by to fit the original profile. The profile weight for each fruit and vegetable included peel, skin, stalks and seeds. For the calculation of some prices, it was necessary to estimate the weight of certain fruits and vegetables as they were only indicated as price per piece.
The estimates were based on information available from various online resources, online supermarkets that specified the weight of an item, as well as weights from a local supermarket. The price for each fruit and vegetable was collected between November and February from online supermarkets in every country.
It reflects the current price found in a mid-range supermarket, i. In order to determine the deviation from the median price, the representative country price for each fruit and vegetable was compared to the median of all country prices.
