Strawberry prices drop as supply increases, growers ask for consumer support at the checkout

If you've never eaten baked double brie topped with oven-roasted strawberries tossed in balsamic vinegar — or if you've never added fresh strawberries to your garden salad — now is the time to give it a go.

From a record high of $11.99 for a 250-gram punnet in June, strawberry supply has now increased with the onset of spring, and Queensland-grown varieties are selling for as low as $2.30 a punnet.
