Federated Farmers says New Zealand's sheep meat exports to the US are a win-win for both countries.  

Trade Minister Todd McClay has revealed he expects the US Government to announce a trade investigation into our lamb imports in the coming weeks, as a means to impose more tariffs. 

New Zealand exported more than $600 million of sheep meat to the US last year. 

Federated Farmers Meat and Wool Chair Richard Dawkins told Ryan Bridge our exports compliment the US production season. 

He says it allows the American consumer to get a taste for lamb, which benefits the American producers as well.
