Applications for the 2024 Zanda McDonald Award open on Sunday (October 1). We ask the 2023 winner why young (21-35) agriculture leaders should consider entering.

Teh-han Chow:

Fonterra’s Greater China chief executive is in New Zealand this week for the annual farmer roadshow meetings. Tonight he’s in New Plymouth where he’ll be discussing the FY23 performance for the China business, why whole milk powder is proving challenging to move, and what’s happening on the ground with the Chinese economy. He also tells us why he reckons 2024 is going to be a better year for New Zealand’s dairy farmers.
