Food Price Index raw collection data

Lance Watson made this Official Information request to Statistics New Zealand

The request was refused by Statistics New Zealand.

From: Lance Watson

Kia ora Statistics New Zealand,

From the Food Price Index information page on datainfoplus:
https://datainfoplus.stats.govt.nz/Item/...

"Prices are surveyed by visiting retail outlets in 12 pricing centres: Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier-Hastings, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill."

You also collect checkout scanner price data that is supplied by some supermarkets.

You gather weekly fruit fruit and vegetable prices, and the remainder on the 8th and 16th day of the month.

Is the raw data from this collection publicly available? All you present in your data sets are index based and average pricing (i.e. 1kg of oranges cost $x). I would like to access the raw data you gathered from each of the 560 outlets in the 12 pricing centres that you gather from.

Ideally I would prefer if you just regularly published this raw data on your website, but otherwise, can I request the most up to date set of raw data you collected that shows the product names you checked (including brand if this is recorded), the price, and what store (location specific, as there may be multiple of the same supermarket in one city).

Ngā mihi,
Lance Watson
