New Zealand: Food Processing Ingredients

For a small country, New Zealand is a major exporter of food and beverage products, and many of these products are manufactured in-country and require inputs imported from other countries. The United States is a key supplier of ingredients including pork, lactose, tree nuts, hops and other products. The U.S. also supplies ingredients for animal feed. Since the pandemic broke, New Zealand has recovered well with consumption patterns returning to almost pre-COVID levels.
