The chief executive of Yummy Fruit (and Hawke’s Bay apple grower) is just back from a trade trip to Berlin. One year on from Cyclone Gabrielle, he says on the face of it, the corporate industry looks like it is recovering well but at an individual level, many growers are wiped out or critically wounded.

Dave Martin:
We catch up with an East Coast farmer, and the event director of the East Coast Farming Expo (happening Feb 21-22 at the Wairoa Racecourse), one year on from Cyclone Gabrielle.
Nadine Tunley:
We find the chief executive of Horticulture NZ in Spain to talk about Cyclone Gabrielle and the good prospects for the industry off the back of our wonderful natural resources.
