The Country: The chief executive of the Meat Industry Association comments on the declining export returns for meat which has seen revenue drop $900 million (-13%) to $5.9 billion.

Earlier today on The Country Labour's Primary Industry Spokesperson Damien O'Connor accused the meat industry of not exploiting new international markets.

Chief executive of the Meat Industry Association Tim Ritchie spoke to Jamie Mackay today to explain his side of the story, saying it's not as easy as O'Connor makes out.

What is Ritchie's take on the declining export returns for meat which has seen revenue drop $900 million (-13%) to $5.9 billion?

Is it all the fault of Brexit or are other factors at play?
