Australia is experiencing a surge in the prices of fruits and vegetables due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and adverse weather conditions, particularly in Queensland. The rise in the cost of lettuce has been significant, with some supermarkets charging up to 12 dollars for a single lettuce. Fast-food chain KFC is responding by replacing lettuce with a cabbage-lettuce mix in their products. According to the consumer price index, the over-all cost of vegetables has risen by 12.7%.
