When will the Iran war hit your grocery bill?

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the Iran war on grocery prices and the challenges faced by farmers in Australia.

Shoppers have been dismayed by grocery price rises for years, now there are warnings that food will cost even more as the effects of the Iran war reach consumers. Transporting produce around the country will cost more due to high diesel prices, but farmers don’t necessarily get to recoup the surging costs on the farm itself. So how are our farmers faring and when will another round of price hikes reach us at the supermarket check-out? Today, we speak with agricultural business expert Stefan Vogel and to South Australian grain grower Louise Flohr. Featured: Louise Flohr, South Australian grain farmer Stefan Vogel, general manager of RaboResearch Australia & New Zealand
