NZ milk powder exports to China keep rising

12:55 pm on 25 January 2012

Trade figures show New Zealand whole milk powder exports to China continue to grow, despite China reducing its demand for imported powder.

New Zealand increased its market share for whole milk powder in China to 93% last year.

China spent $US1.19 billion on whole milk powder imports last year, along with $US456 million dollars on skim milk powder imports. They increased by 47% last year.

New Zealand also supplied more than half of that product.
