Nathan Guy: Meat Industry Association Independent Chair explains how primary sector can benefit from NZ-India trade deal
New Zealand's sheep farmers could be big winners if we secure a trade deal with India.
The Prime Minister has announced formal negotiations on a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement will begin next month.
The inclusion of dairy products was a key snagging point in negotiations that fell flat in 2015.
Meat Industry Association Independent Chair, Nathan Guy, says the primary industry has a lot to gain.
"If you look at what's happening up here with sheep meat at the moment, we're facing a 30 percent tariff - and that's a massive headwind. So there's not a lot going on here."
