New Zealand is facing a potential banana shortage.
Two weeks ago a boat which left Ecuador carrying a load of bananas set for Foodsuffs supermarkets, broke down.
A spokesperson for Foodstuffs, which owns New World, Pak'nSave and Four Square supermarkets says the incident is hitting banana supply nationally.
It says while the supply has been impacted there will still be bananas available.
Foodstuffs expects to have supply back to normal within the next couple of weeks.
