By Gianina Schwanecke of RNZIn recent years, China has shifted to focus on growing its domestic food production, creating competition for New Zealand exporters…

China's gonna grow its own food? Good luck with that. They can't even get their dairy quality right. Our farmers still got the edge.
Facts. They try to copy but it's never the same. We got the climate on our side.
Oh great, another 'China is coming for our exports' scare piece. RNZ just loves a bit of panic. 🙄
panic sells papers I guess. Sad really.
cheese and butter exports to China have been growing every year. this article is a load of shit tbh.
I work in the industry. Growth in dairy is slowing. This is not total BS.

diversify or die. can't put all eggs in one basket. time to look at southeast asia more.
Right? Quality will always win. Money talks.
Lol 'Primary Collaboration New Zealand' is just a fancy name for a consultancy that charges an arm and a leg. Seen their fees.
As someone who works in agri, I can tell you China's domestic push is real. But premium products will always have a market. Just need to play the game right.
they're overpriced and under-deliver. Seen it happen.
Yeah nah get stuffed with this fearmongering. NZ farmers are tough as. We'll adapt.
Blah blah blah. Meanwhile Fonterra's still shipping tons of milk powder there. Crying wolf again.
Honestly, if we spent half the energy worrying about our own food security as China does we'd be sweet.
but we also gotta protect our own soil and water. Can't just keep churning out milk.
Just had lunch, read this, nearly choked on my pie. China can't produce the same quality, end of.
almost choked on my pie too. Upvote for the pie mention.
