Fallout from war in Middle East hitting farmers hard

Fallout from war in the Middle East is hitting kiwi farmers from multiple directions, including a massive jump in the price of fertiliser. Rising fuel prices means gassing up machinery like harvesters is costing thousands of dollars more. About 40 percent of the world's fertiliser is produced in the Middle East using natural gas. The farmer owned co-operative Ballance Agri nutrients is a fertiliser importer, but also a manufacturer. Ballance Agri nutrients CEO Kelvin Wickham spoke to Lisa Owen.
