Exports and imports were both down in February
2021 compared with the previous February, Stats NZ said today.
The value of total goods exported fell $416
million compared with the same period last year. Exports were down to all
New Zealand’s top trading partners except China, which saw an increase
of $369 million from February 2020.

In February 2021, exports to China increased comparatively, whereas exports
to the United States and other countries have decreased,” international
trade manager Alasdair Allen said.
