Summary
This week on AgWatchersX, Matt and Andrew cover a fairly hectic mix of global politics, red meat trade and football hope. The pair unpack the end of the Iran conflict and what calmer conditions in the Middle East could mean for markets, before turning to China where Australia’s beef quota appears to have been unofficially filled, raising fresh questions about trade flows, pricing and where product goes next. They also look at the Bureau of Meteorology’s declaration of El Niño and what that could mean for Australian agriculture as the season unfolds. Then, in a very serious piece of football analysis, they assess the World Cup chances of Scotland and Australia, with only a small amount of national bias involved.
