Empty Shelves & Escalating Costs: The Fight for Australia’s Food Security
from Afternoons with Brent Bultitude · host Super Radio Network
The cost of living is hitting a new peak, but the real crisis is brewing behind the factory doors. This week, we dive into the "perfect storm" threatening our supermarkets. From shipping lanes in the Middle East collapsing by 90% to energy costs surging over 40% in just 30 days, our food security is at a breaking point. We’re joined by Scott McGrath from the Australian Food and Grocery Council to discuss why manufacturers can no longer "swallow" these costs and what this means for the thousands of Aussies employed in regional manufacturing hubs. If you think it's just about the price of milk, think again—this is about the viability of the entire Australian pantry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
