EP 138 | 🎙️ So… What Did We Miss?
We’re back! After a few weeks buried in calving, we’ve finally emerged to discover that global agriculture certainly didn’t take a break while we did.
This week, we’re catching up on some of the biggest ag stories from around the world.
🌾 Europe has been cooked by heat and drought — while farmers face the ugly combination of falling output prices and rising input costs.
🌽 A monster Argentinian corn crop is helping redraw global grain trade as war in Ukraine, European drought and Brazil’s growing appetite for corn all shift where the world buys its feed.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 China is buying American soybeans again — but is it about supply, economics or geopolitics?
🐄 The US is running seriously short of cattle, beef prices are soaring and the response has been to open the door to more imported beef. So what does that mean for farmers trying to rebuild the herd — and is there an opportunity for NZ?
🥛 Back home, global dairy supply has finally caught up with demand, putting some pressure on milk prices.
And tying it all together: global food prices are rising again.
There’s a LOT to catch up on. No deep dive this week — the news has given us quite enough to talk about.
