This week on the Best of The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up Rabobank chief executive Todd Charteris, to discuss the bank's latest Agribusiness Monthly report.
This week's top interviews are:
David Seymour:
The Act leader reckoned we're now officially a dictatorship that wasn't doing a great job of the Covid response - when compared to Taiwan.
Todd Charteris:
Rabobank's chief executive reviewed the bank's March Agribusiness Monthly report and announced a lift in its forecast milk price to $7-80/kgMS.
Damien O'Connor:
We bantered with the Minister of Agriculture about Alps 2 Ocean and why the pork industry was slamming the government over country of origin labelling. Plus, we asked if international tourism can ever recover?
Jane Smith:
This week the North Otago farmer and environmentalist, somewhat against character, sung the praises of Winston Peters.
Allan Dippie:
We talked to Allan Dippie about a chance to win a three day pass (for two) to Wheels at Wanaka over the Easter weekend - with the bonus of a half hour ride in a monster '70s dump truck used to move dirt in the creation of the Upper Waitaki hydro power scheme!
Judith Collins:
We asked National's leader who's going to pick our apples? What's the future for tourism? Should there be a transtasman travel bubble? Should Jacinda have kicked Mike to touch? And who's her favourite political journalist?
Listen below:
'It is a much more efficient way of getting twice as many apples using a lot less water.'
