NZ exports to EU surge by $3b under free trade deal, says Government
New Zealand exports to the European Union have surged by $3 billion in two years under the New Zealand-European Union Free Trade Agreement.
Yes, there are some good gains for horticulture and seafood but the dairy and red meat sectors have been stumped.
The Government claims to have taken a pragmatic approach, arguing a deal is better than no deal, despite the poor result on dairy and meat.
The NZ dairy sector has effectively lost Europe under this approach.
Now will the Government take a similar approach in India where dairy will be the key point for negotiation?
