He says export volumes and returns have lifted in the six months since his ministry issued its last situation and outlook report.
Last June, MPI made a forecast on growth rates and returns for the next 12 months.
Mr Guy says he has a snapshot on progress after the first six months, and says "it's really exciting".
The sector is worth $32 billion in exports at present, and he plans to soon announce some more good news.
"All our farmers and marketers are doing fantastic work," Mr Guy says.
