A recent report by Lew Evans and Richard Meade for MAF* highlights that New Zealand's major agricultural sectors are increasing their offshore production capacity. This trend reflects a subtle shift in the nature of New Zealand's agricultural comparative advantage with a greater contribution now from intellectual property. The multinationalisation of New Zealand Agri-Businesses offers a range of benefits including improved market access a reduced carbon footprint and reduced exposure to adverse exchange rates. In this seminar the drivers and implications of this changing strategy are explored as are obstacles to its further development (particularly in relation to cooperative food processors) and opportunities it presents.To view the report this presentation refers to click here.pdfen-NZPermission to publish research outputs of the New Zealand Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation has been granted to the Victoria University of Wellington Library.
