New Zealand agritechnology solutions, such as herd improvement, software, pasture mapping and management are being integrated into on-farm practices, maximising increases in productivity and profitability.
New Zealand’s agritech sector is a NZ$3 billion industry, generating export sales in excess of $700 million annually.
Increasingly, there are new collaborations up and down the agricultural value chain - from seeds and grains, to animal genetics, quality control and on to farm assurance systems, farm equipment and technology.
New Zealand is a pioneer in on farm efficiency, which underpins the huge growth in dairy production in New Zealand in recent years. New Zealand dairy companies control one third of international dairy trade, and New Zealand remains the largest exporter of dairy products.
