The key objective of this report, as with previous reports is to surface up to date facts about specific inputs prices in January 2024 compared to 2023. This is an important exercise, as prices negotiated now for product delivered in 2024 will need to reflect these increases in variable costs along with other considerations producers need to cover production costs.

This report takes account of the most important and the relative importance of inputs to the different sectors of horticulture production arriving at average increases in input prices in each sector for 2024. The report also comments on the status of each sector and potential impacts of very high input prices for primary producers now and for the rest of 2024 season. This is now the fourth report of this type, first produced in 2021.
