There’s been good growth in machinery sales this year – a sure sign that many food producers are sure enough about their prospects to invest and upgrade.

Of course, deciding to buy a tractor and actually being able to get one is still an issue with supply chains still taking a beating because of the pandemic.

But it’s a great time for New Zealand manufacturers who have no such issues.

With covid-19 still swirling around the world, it’s great our primary sector is still seeing good returns for its food.

And with many economies, notably China, really starting to take off again, the prospects look good in the medium-term as well.
