Topic “dairy exports” — Exporter Magazine

Ireland is planning a big increase in milk output once quotas are lifted in 2015 as the government places food at the heart of an export led growth strategy, according to dairyreporter.com. New Zealand sold dairy goods to 151 countries last year, but China was the biggest customer by far, paying out $1.33 billion, the report says, citing NZ Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF). New Zealand dairy exports, which make up a fifth of the nation’s total overseas trade, are likely to surge 58% over the next four years on rising prices and demand, according to Bloomberg news.
