New Zealand has a strong tradition in agricultural export industries.

The country has succeeded through combining hard-earned practical knowledge with technical innovation, research and development, and the benefits of an ideal environment and climate.

New Zealand’s fertile land and temperate weather support many important export-earning products. These include chilled and value-added meat cuts, a varied and extensive range of horticultural crops – from apples and kiwifruit to onions and squash - many types of seeds and a healthy flower export trade.
