The reasons eggs are $9 and coffee's a second mortgage
Description
This week we're joined by Michael Harvey, senior food analyst at Rabobank. As Rabo is an agricultural-focused bank, it's well placed to discuss food prices, weather events, and what the farmers are feeling at the farm gate, and why it affects the price of your weekly shop or what goes onto your plate. We discussed weather patterns, grocery price inflation, geopolitics in China and the US, and other factors. Great chat!
