Why Dairy? Large and growing global market (930m tonnes of milk worth ~$840b) with growing consumption.

Why New Zealand Dairy? NZ is the tenth largest milk producer and the global market leader in dairy trade, delivering US$14b worth of pasture-fed dairy to 120 markets (14% of global trade). NZ has a strong and growing sustainable comparative advantage.

Who is investing? Why? NZ dairy is an attractive destination for investors. Seven of the top ten global dairy companies have operations in NZ. The dairy processing industry has investments from five private equity firms, fourteen global multinationals, and seven state-owned enterprises.

How is the industry structured? There is a complex, multi-stage dairy product supply chain in NZ. ~600-700 firms are spread across the chain. NZ has sixteen major milk-to-ingredient processors and hundreds of consumer dairy firms (e.g. fresh milk, ice cream, infant formula, sports nutrition, dairy nutritionals).

What is driving milk supply? Change is occurring with farms consolidating into fewer and larger operations. Dairy directly uses 6% of land (incl. feed) and is achieving more milk per cow per year.

What exports are growing? Numerous growth sectors exist across dairy exports. Fluid milk, infant formula, cheese, ice cream, protein, butter and powders are all showing significant growth.
