Hopefully more of our manufacturing exporters are back up and running in level 3 in Auckland and we progress as a nation back to level 1 as soon as possible. The other issue weighing heavily on exporters and business travellers is the inability to get back into the country because of MIQ constraints. Please see below where we are asking for feedback to the Government on this problem via a formal submission process.

According to Stats from the MFAT reports below, in April exports to all countries were down 2.6 percent to $5.3 billion. Dairy and meat exports were up 25.8 percent and 0.8 percent respectively, while seafood and forestry exports fell 30.9 percent and 68.7 percent respectively. We are hearing good reports of optimism and resilience from our regional offices as to how their exporter members are feeling, with lots of agility and innovative thinking going on. Stay positive, the NZ economy needs you to do well like never before!
