    New Zealand's exports are booming, driven by rising global demand for food

    New Zealand's exports are booming, driven by rising global demand for food

    5 March 2026
    New trade figures show exports surged to 29.2 billion dollars in the December quarter - up 2.2 billion on a year earlier.

    Two-way trade also leapt to just over 61 billion.

    Business NZ CEO Katherine Rich says the country produces enough food to feed around 50-million people.

    She says these products need to be sold for the highest value possible - which is what we're seeing for meat.
