Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Yesterday the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) released a report on the role that land-based industries such as livestock, forestry, and horticulture have played in New Zealand's economic performance under the COVID-19 pandemic. The report said that whatever COVID-19 has done to other parts of world trade, it has reinforced the underlying strength and importance of New Zealand's land-based industries. The NZIER pointed to growth in demand from China and other Asian nations, combined with our flexible and adaptable supply chains and strong and effective institutions as the key reasons for New Zealand's strong trading results through the pandemic so far, with dairy, meat, and horticulture sectors up by nearly $1 billion for the year to date compared with this time last year.
