New Zealand farmers eye Chinese market

As global dairy prices continue to fall, New Zealand's farmers hope their strong trading relationship with China will help pull them through the tough times.

More details:

  • Part of the problem is a slowdown in China’s dairy consumption which has seen New Zealand’s exports to China drop by 45 percent since the peak in 2013.
  • New Zealand’s biggest bank, ANZ, believes that increased wealth in countries like China will boost future demand for New Zealand food.
