    From Uncertainty to Opportunity: IFCN Insights on the Future of Dairy

    Kicking off with Chris Walklands’ Milk Market Report, Episode 292 of the Kite Podcast hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle are joined by Philipp Goetz, Head of Sales and Business Development at IFCN, and podcast producer Becki Reay.
