Down to Agribusiness: Lactalis lands, diesel surges and markets explained
This week on Down to Agribusiness, we look at Lactalis’ takeover in the UK and what the proposed Irish Ferries’ management buyout could mean for the agri business sector. We also examine Periguis Energy’s progress in Ireland’s renewables market and the latest developments in the diesel market, where the diesel crack spread has hit record levels.
Inside the sector, Lorcan Roche Kelly speaks to former fund manager and Financial Timesjournalist Toby Nangle, who breaks down the basics of investing — from stocks and bonds to crypto, diversification and the risks of the next big market crash.
Plus, we have the latest market movements, global food price warnings and the week’s key corporate news.
