With food prices in the spotlight as Rachel Reeves pushes supermarkets to cap costs for consumers, this week’s show starts further up the supply chain with pork and poultry producer Cranswick. The company reported another strong set of results, and Mark Robinson talks through the details.

Discussion then turns to this week’s Big Read on picking the perfect pension provider. In a week when the Pensions Commission outlined big gaps in the nation’s savings, it’s poignant to discuss what investors should consider when choosing a savings account. From charges to investment options, selecting the right home for your savings is vital. Helen Kirrane explains what to do.

Finally, we cast our ears to palm oil producers in Indonesia, a country already feeling the impact of higher prices and where mooted export controls hit the industry this week. Julian Hofmann gives us the details on MP Evans and AEP Plantations.
