This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay spoke to Rabobank chief executive Todd Charteris, about the bank's August Agribusiness Monthly Report.
This week's top interviews were:
David Seymour:
We asked the high-flying Act leader whether there had ever been a better time to be in Opposition?
Graham West:
The national president of the NZ Farm Forestry Association said a recent Beef + Lamb NZ report that "significant" areas of pastoral farmland were being converted into forestry was alarmist and needed to be put into context.
Todd Charteris:
The chief executive of Rabobank reviewed the bank's August Agribusiness Monthly Report which saw New Zealand's agri commodity prices marking time at highs. But for how much longer?
Jim Hopkins:
This week the rural raconteur was right behind the "no jab, no job" call, and said he was no fan of Greta Thunberg - but he remained a big fan of New Zealand farming.
Nadia Lim:
The celebrity chef and My Food Bag founder said New Zealanders were almost totally detached from the realities of producing food at scale.
Judith Collins:
We asked National's leader about her roadmap out of Covid, the latest polls (leaked and otherwise), her bizarre mating ritual dance-off with Simon Bridges and what she wanted to do with Winston!
