New Zealand Diary Industry

Marketing Division, Dairy Board, Wellington, New Zealand

ABSTRACT

Introduction

As the world's largest international trader in dairy products, New Zealand and its dairy industry will repay study by anyone having an interest in dairying. Many of the delegates to the 1970 International Dairy Congress in Australia plan to return home by way of New Zealand 1,200 miles across the Tasman Sea from Sydney.

They can be sure of a warm welcome to New Zealand. Early contact with the authorities will ensure they will see plenty to interest them, including some of the finest dairy farms and dairy factories anywhere.

It should be remembered that dairying in this South Pacific country is export-oriented. Over 90% of milk sales from farms is used for manufacturing, and of this volume 84% is for the manufacture of exports.

The New Zealand dairy industry consists of approximately 100 cooperatively owned companies which jointly control a national administrative and marketing organization. The Board is the world's largest exporter of dairy products.
