Organic Fruit Leads Export Success

摘要

Led by exports of fresh fruit, the total value of New Zealand's exports of organic products has increased to NZ$170 million (94 million euros). Exports are dominated by fresh fruit, with secondary contributions from meat and wool, dairy, processed foods, beverages and honey. The New Zealand Organic Report 2010 - commissioned by OANZ-the umbrella organisation for the organic sector in New Zealand-and prepared by the University of Otago - shows fresh fruit and vegetables are the largest category of organic exports. The category is made up of 48 % apples, 48 % kiwifruit, other types of fruit, and minimal exports of fresh vegetables.
