HISTORY As NZ was settled, the idea was that NZ was a farm,
used to provide wool for England's thriving textile industries.
This caused two major implications to NZ’s trade

IMPLICATION #1
From its earliest times NZ was an exporter of primary products.
First provided wool and as technology advanced frozen meat and dairy products were exported to the ‘mother country’.

IMPLICATION #2
Since NZ was a British colony, it was only natural that the major buyer of our products should be Britain itself.

Dependence on narrow range of primary products
Dependence on the UK as our principal export market

NZ’S PROBLEMS
Primary products suffer sharp fluctuations in the price on international markets. Therefore incomes received by these products fluctuate as well.
We traditionally exported primary products in a relatively unprocessed form. The prices received for these unprocessed products are significantly less than that received for processed products. Only since 1970s has this begun to change
