New Zealand’s exports are booming, driven by rising global demand for food. 

New trade figures show exports surged to $29.2 billion dollars in the December quarter – up $2.2 billion on a year earlier. 

Two-way trade also leapt to just over $61 billion. 

Business NZ CEO Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking the country produces enough food to feed around 50 million people. 

She says these products need to be sold for the highest value possible, which is what we're seeing for meat.
