Todd McClay: Agriculture and Forestry Minister on the rise in food and fibre export value

Todd McClay says surging value and supply is behind the rise in food and fibre export revenue.  The latest forecasts project export earnings of $59.9 billion for the year ending later this month.   It's now on track to reach $65.7 billion by 2029.  Agriculture and Forestry Minister Todd McClay told Mike Hosking we're seeing sectors like Horticulture raise exports by 20%.  He says for the first time ever we saw Zespri sell $5 billion worth of kiwifruit around the world.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
