This week we're joined by Michael Harvey, senior food analyst at Rabobank. As Rabo is an agricultral-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!

Rabobank was last on in episode 79 with Julie Blanchard talking about savings accounts. Rabobank also has its own podcast about food and agribusiness you can access at:
