Our Australian correspondent provides an update on record export volumes of lamb and mutton in December and for the 2023 calendar year (which is snookering New Zealand at present).
He also talks about the impact that the Red Sea debacle is having on Aussie agribusiness, and whether barley exports have picked up in the wake of the Chinese tariffs being lifted.
