New Zealand has long enjoyed an excellent reputation as one of the world’s leading producers of primary products. New Zealand  holds a compelling position as a logical supply source to help meet increasing global demand for food, especially from Asia’s growing population.

Primary industries’ share of New Zealand’s GDP output has risen considerably year after year, now accounting for around $30 billion annually in export earnings. With government targets for this to double by 2025, the proactive  management of all aspects of the sector is high  on the national agenda.

Agriculture in New Zealand is constantly at the  forefront of global best practice and technological  developments. Scientific and technology-based improvements to farming techniques and land use efficiency, ensure constant productivity gains  and value enhancement in all aspects of farming.

  • political stability

  • government commitments to growing the rural sector

  • portfolio diversification
