Changes to the Farm Expenses Price Index
From the June 2004 quarter, the Farm Expenses Price Index tables are included in the Producers Price Index Hot Off The Press information releases. The format and information in the tables remain the same.
As of 19 August 2008, Statistics New Zealand advises that the Farm Expenses Price Index will be produced for one quarter each year instead of quarterly. This change is due to reprioritisation of some parts of Statistics New Zealand's output programme. The date for the annual release has not yet been decided. We are consulting some key users about when the publication of the annual release would be most useful. If you would like more information about this change or would like to indicate when the publication of the annual release would be most useful for you, please contact Litia Tapu on 04 931 4600.
If you require earlier releases, please contact the information centre.
