Michael Every:

Rabobank's Senior Strategist Asia Pacific talks about the World Cup of Trade (as opposed to Football) and why New Zealand should be worried about Trump's trade war with China.

Brendon Hoare:

We talk to the chief executive of Organics Aotearoa New Zealand (OANZ) about the value of the country's organic sector lifting to $600 million in 2017, from $467 million in 2015, and whether organics could be the way forward for NZ agriculture.
