Agriculture and Trade Minister Todd McClay talks relationship between the two ahead of Fieldays

New Zealand is a farming country, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Agriculture and the primary sector remain central to our international trade, with export revenue hitting a record 57.8 billion in the year to June 2023. That number is expected to dip when the next figures are announced, as the tough economic climate is felt throughout all parts of society. Looking to get the most out of both the primary sectors here and overseas is the Minister for Agriculture and Trade, Todd McClay. As he heads to Fieldays this week, the Minister joins The Front Page to discuss the state of his key portfolios.
