The future of frozen veg with Antony Heywood and Matt Thorn

Staples in our frozen veggie aisles - Watties and McCain - have announced they're closing up shop in New Zealand. Watties is closing factories in Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin and their frozen packing lines in Hastings. McCain's is also exiting Hastings by the end of this year. Hundreds of jobs are set to be lost, but the repercussions of these closures will be felt far wider. What do these closures mean for the growers supplies these companies and their rural communities? Will this be a fundamental change for the sector? Will Kiwis be able to find homegrown veggies on their shelves at the supermarket? Joining the conversation is Matt Thorn, Business Manager for Process Vegetables and Antony Heywood, former Vegetables NZ Chief Executive.
