The value of total goods exports fell 10 percent in January 2021 from January 2020, to $4.2 billion, led by falls in
dairy and meat, Stats NZ said today.
“The fall in exports of $486 million was the largest year-on-year fall in exports since March of 2016,” international
trade manager Alasdair Allen said.
The fall in exports was led by a drop in dairy products with milk powder, down $97 million, butter, down $62 million,
and whey, down $31 million from January 2020.
