Red meat's among food and fibre exports surging in value, with revenue forecast to surpass $60 billion for the first time.

The latest forecasts projects export earnings of $59.9 billion for the year ending later this month. 

It's now on track to reach $65.7 billion by 2029.

Meat Industry Association Chief Executive Sirma Karapeeva told Ryan Bridge we're seeing strong global demand and healthy prices across key markets.

She says there's demand from the US and EU, with a good recovery in exports to China.
