On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Charles Russell, CEO of Mātai Pacific Iwi Collective, about winning the 2026 Ahuwhenua Trophy for excellence in Māori horticulture and the growth of the business from its establishment in 2018 to now owning more than 100 hectares of covered kiwifruit on three separate orchards in the Bay of Plenty. They also discuss the Collective becoming the largest Māori supplier of kiwifruit to Zespri and its unique connection to James Bond author Ian Fleming... And Jo Grigg talks with Hugh Cameron about growing wool on the 40,000 hectare Otematata Station, producing the Otago Merino Association Supreme Fleece and getting back into playing the bagpipes.
