Latest forecasts suggest New Zealand’s arable farmers have to date been less affected than other primary industry sectors by COVID-19 and the drought.
Covid-19 is forecast to strip more than $1.3 billion dollars off New Zealand’s primary exports in the coming year, including $390 million off dairy exports.
Against the odds, exports of NZ’s primary produce have increased by $7.5 billion over the last two years and now stand at $45.7b for the year ended June 2019.
Primary sectors will have a good start to 2019, with horticulture the likely star performer for the year.
The value of New Zealand’s primary sector exports is set to grow by 3.8% to a new record high over the coming year.
