Are you ready to ride the global economic rollercoaster - and come out stronger?

In this episode of Talking Dairy, you’ll hear from two of New Zealand’s top economists, Brad Olsen and Cameron Bagrie. They’ll break down what’s happening in global trade and explain what it means for your dairy farm.

From rising tensions between the US and China, to big changes in shipping, and Fonterra’s next moves - this is the stuff that shapes your business.

You’ll find out how global politics are changing trade and why the world feels less predictable than it used to. You’ll hear smart ways to protect your farm’s future and get practical tips for managing risk in tough times.
