The Minister of Agriculture and Trade kicked off the Primary Industries New Zealand Summit this morning. He talks about getting Wellington out of farming and what a Donald Trump presidency could mean for our trade. He also comments on how important New Zealand’s innovative apple packing and processing machinery is to the US, what the tariff-free EU agreement is worth to kiwifruit growers, and working on a trade deal with India.
Finally, McClay ponders getting New Zealand to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and Winston Peters’ performance as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
