New Zealand: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NZ2021-0015

New Zealand beef production is forecast to fall slightly in 2022, following two straight years of record production. This is a result of less anticipated slaughter, especially of heifers and steers. In addition, lower carcass weights are also expected. As a result of smaller beef production, exports are also forecast to fall from the records set in 2021 and 2020.
