About this episode
Kate Acland discusses the potential impact of the India free trade agreement on New Zealand's lamb industry.
More New Zealand lamb could soon be making its way to India under our soon-to-be-signed free trade agreement. Labour's now backing the deal, which will reduce or eliminate tariffs on 95% of exports to the world's largest country. Beef + Lamb New Zealand says the Indian market has been largely unavailable until now due to a 33% tariff. Chair Kate Acland told Ryan Bridge India consumes a huge amount of sheep meat.
