Jamie Mackay: The Country host on the food and fibre sector bringing an extra $1.2 billion into the economy - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

This has brought an extra $1.2 billion into the economy, surpassing Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor's expectations.

The Country's Jamie Mackay says this news comes with a caveat, as the dairy and sheep sectors are likely to take a hit.
