Abstract

New Zealand has considerably more fertile land than needed to meet domestic food requirements and supported its development by exporting food. The importance of New Zealand’s farming produce for foreign exchange gives agricultural economics and food policy a high profile. New Zealand has the second highest net specialisation in agriculture exports and it is in the top six exporters of ‘eight key traded farm products’. Combating market distortions has been a major concern. Unusually for a ‘rich’ country, most subsidisation was abolished. Development and implementation of New Zealand’s agricultural economics and food policy has been based on significant influence by farmers themselves through Federated Farmers. The book’s intention is to demonstrate how agricultural economics and food policy are dependent, jointly, on Government and farmers’ actions.
