Nathan Guy: Special Agricultural Trade Envoy on exports reaching $8.6 billion in April with meat leading the way

Beef exports are booming, up 12% annually.  The latest Stats NZ figures show exports for April hit $8.6 billion, with meat leading the way – worth $1.3 billion.  The US remains our top beef market, taking more than a quarter of our produce, representing a 54% increase.   Special Agricultural Trade Envoy Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking US herd numbers are at a 70-year low.  He says despite tariff uncertainty, the market's in great shape, given the US eats about three burgers per head each week.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
