Letter from the Editor

The new minister of Trade, Industry and Competition is largely unknown, and many people will be keen to find out what kind of policy direction he is likely to take. Therefore we spoke to some colleagues to find out more about Parks Tau, and the opinions were interesting. You can read our profile in our Closer Look.

Just to remind the Minister of the challenges associated with his new portfolio, we are also reprising the interview we did with UCT economics professor Lawrence Edwards who offered some advice.

Our other podcast this week could not be more different - an interview with one of our energetic Disruptors who is using technology and innovation to change the whole poultry value chain. It is an inspiring interview and great fun - we really suggest you give it a listen.

We also have another lively and opinionated Insider Perspective from Glen MacAlister, who certainly does not mince his words! And our weekly Poultry Analysis carries the usual variety of information.
