World Business Report

Available for over a year

Farmers in Poland and Hungary are the latest to begin protesting over cheap produce flooding in from Ukraine. Elsewhere in Europe the complaints continue over pesticide use and costs; we bring you the latest. Global cocoa prices have hit a fresh record high as dry weather hurts crops in West Africa. We hear from a cocoa grower in the Ivory Coast. Rahul Tandon also hears from Tim Draper - one of the funders of Nikki Haley's Presidential campaign - about why he backs the former US Ambassador to the UN's attempt to take the Republican nomination.
