New Zealand beef exports to Canada hit the comeback trail
Exports of New Zealand beef to Canada are expected to go on increasing in line with reducing stocks from South America, due to that continent’s problems with foot and mouth disease.
New Zealand customs figures show that during 2000, the country shipped 8,664 tonnes out of an allowable quota of 29,600 tonnes to Canada. So far this year it has sent 15,977 tonnes, largely on the back of South America’s ongoing problems with foot and mouth disease and the current low value of the New Zealand dollar.
