Federated Farmers Podcast

Red meat pressure points and potential solutions | EP 45

Federated Farmers of NZ

In this episode, we take a hard look at where things are at for the red meat and wool sectors right now, including what’s driving the strong red meat returns, but also pain points like processor viability, falling stock numbers, productive farmland going into carbon forestry, and the ongoing struggles for wool growers.  

Richard Dawkins, Federated Farmers meat and wool chair, brings insights from farmers on the ground, and Mel Croad, senior analyst at AgriHQ, unpacks what’s driving global demand and market movements.
