Description

Sponsored by The Waikato Management School

Following the success of the New Zealand Economics Forum, we’re bringing the same high-profile experts and sharp debate to Fieldays, with a focused look at the economic future of New Zealand farming.

We are stepping off campus and onto the field for two targeted panel sessions, both moderated by Luke Malpass, Political Editor at The Post, as we tackle the big choices facing our agri-sector.

Session Details

SESSION ONE | 10:00 AM

Feeding the World in a Fractured Landscape: Geopolitics & NZ's Primary Sector

New Zealand’s exporters are navigating an increasingly complex global stage. This panel explores how shifting geopolitical alliances and trade dynamics are reshaping our role as a food producer in a volatile world.

SESSION TWO | 11:00 AM

Dollars & Dirt: The Economic Outlook from the Farm Gate

What do macro-economic trends actually mean for the 2026/27 season? This session cuts through the noise to focus on the financial realities of farming today.
