RNZKiwi ice cream company using rejected Kumara to make gelatoA kiwi ice cream company is using reject gold kumara that would otherwise be destined for landfill to make gelato. Island Gelato Co. says recent flooding has seen the price of kumara reach record highs, almost $13 per kilogram in some stores, but at the same time mishapen, outsized and over ripe Kumara are being dumped. So it started working with food producers to rescue the root vege and turned it into ice cold gold.

Now I'm wondering just how much "mishapen, outsized and over ripe" produce is being dumped, thus reducing the supply of fruit and veges in the market and keeping the price artificially high.

Any political party got policy on preventing this wastage and market failure?
