Beef Central's ever popular podcast series, The Weekly Grill, returns from summer recess this week with the first episode of a new series. Kicking off this year's program, host Kerry Lonergan this week turns up the heat on Australian Meat Industry Council chief executive, Patrick Hutchinson. In a wide ranging interview, the pair explore the challenges ahead for red meat processors and retailers, including labour issues, livestock supply, consumer meat buying habits during COVID, and key export market access issues. Sponsoring our Weekly Grill podcast series again in 2022 is Elanco Animal Health.
