New Zealand Farms Lift Growth Across 100-Plus Properties as Strong Commodity Prices Leave Cities Lagging

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 11

New Zealand’s farm sector is giving the economy a fresh lift, with rural activity outpacing weaker growth in the country’s cities.
Strong commodity prices and favorable weather are driving that split, creating unusually supportive conditions for producers across multiple agricultural products.
Pamu Landcorp Farming, the state-owned operator of more than 100 farms, said it is seeing one of the strongest combinations in decades of broad-based prices and good seasonal conditions.
The result is a two-speed economy in which agriculture is cushioning national growth even as urban areas remain comparatively soft.
