The primary sector's going gangbusters, with a billion-dollar monthly trade surplus for the first time in five years.
Stats NZ data reveals it sat on $1.4 billion in April, compared with a $12 million deficit for the same time last year.
The dairy sector's been the big winner.
Federated Farmers Dairy Chairperson Richard McIntyre told Ryan Bridge a lot of dairy farmers have smiles on their faces.
He says they're proud of their contribution to the economy, and the wider standard of living they help Kiwis generate.
