Red Meat Sector Trade 2023 Summary

The red meat industry is New Zealand’s second largest goods exporter, generating 15% of New Zealand’s export revenue in 2022/23.

Red meat exports were worth $10.8 billion for the year.

While this was one percent less than the record level of 2021/22, it was still a very good result in the face of tougher economic conditions in many of the sector’s major markets during the year.
