With annual exports in excess of $NZ6.3 billion, the dairy industry is New Zealand’s biggest export earner – an established global industry with an exciting future.
Key strengths of New Zealand’s world-class dairy industry are its efficient all-grass farming system, large-scale processing, high research and development investment and creative marketing.
Known around the world for its full-flavoured, distinctive natural taste, the New Zealand dairy industry is focused on providing consumers with goodness, well-being and premium quality. It also upholds a reputation for clean, safe products complying with rigorous health and safety standards.
The industry has been successful at diversifying both its products and the number of markets it exports to. Products range from high quality basics such as milk powders, butter and cheese through to specialty foods such as ice cream and highly specialised ingredients like spray-dried milk proteins, protein hydrolysates and freeze-dried biologically active proteins..
