Show Notes
A year of wet weather has taken its toll on some in the veggie industry.
New data from NIWA shows that in September, areas like Otago, Southland, Canterbury, Wairarapa, and Auckland received well above normal rainfall.
But last month was also the warmest September on record.
Leaderbrand Chief Executive, Richard Burke told Kate Hawkesby that recent rainfall has been difficult.
He says it's been the hardest 18 months they've seen from the growers right through to sales, with outages and a lack of product.
