据新西兰新闻秘书处6月17日消息，食品和纤维行业尽管面临挑战，但预计，出口收入将创历史新高。
海洋和渔业部长大卫·帕克说:”新西兰的食品和纤维部门预计将实现长期增长，因为它有助于引领我们的COVID-19经济复苏”。
今天在Fieldays 2021发布的最新《第一产业形势与展望》（SOPI）报告预测，在截至2022年6月的一年里，整个行业和出口收入增长3.4，达到创纪录的491亿美元。预计到2025年6月的一年，出口收入将达到531亿新西兰元。在此之前，截至今年6月的一年里，食品和纤维部门出口总额小幅下降了1.1。
大卫·帕克说;”尽管COVID-19造成了不利因素，但整个行业的表现却非常出色。新西兰的农民、种植者、渔民、加工商、制造商和工匠已经迎接了2021年的挑战。与此同时，我们都开始意识到我们是多么相互依赖，卡车司机、加工人员和其他供应链中的人员确保产品进入我们的市场″。
部长认为，政府发挥了作用，将这些行业（包括第一产业）列为基本工人。
SOPI报告显示，园艺部门尤其继续其上升轨迹。预计到2021年6月，其出口收入将达到66亿纽币，增长2.3。价格上涨的推动因素是，奇异果和鳄梨的种植面积增加，以及海外对新鲜水果和葡萄酒的持续需求。
大卫·帕克说;”包括餐饮服务中断和航运物流在内的大流行带来的挑战在几个行业都感受到了影响，海鲜行业受到的打击比大多数行业都大。
在疫情大流行期间，需求确实大幅放缓，但龙虾等产品的出口量和价格正在恢复良好。该行业在过去一年应对挑战方面做得很好。这一最新更新还显示，对乳制品的需求稳定，林业出口反弹好于预期″。
林业部长斯图尔特·纳什（Stuart Nash）说;”由于出口量和价格上升，预计2021年林业收入将达到63亿纽币，增长12.8。收获量和原木出口量也将分别增长 14.5 和 21.4。 这证明了林业部门的韧性和辛勤工作，这是他们应该引以为豪的。2021年1月，我们还与中国成功签署了自由贸易协定升级协议，其中包括取消新西兰对华近33亿新西兰元木材和纸张贸易99的关税。这将对我们的林业部门产生持久的好处″。
大卫·帕克说;”虽然COVID-19的影响将在一段时间内显现出来，包括劳工挑战。但目前正在开展大量工作来弥补这一差距，包括机会增长在这里的作用，以吸引新西兰人从事食品和纤维行业的工作″。
林业部长斯图尔特·纳什（Stuart Nash）说;”政府建设更美好世界––加快我们的经济潜力路线图，是推动新西兰从COVID-19复苏的重要工具，它汇集了行动、投资和资源，以确保我们共同重建得更好”。
大卫帕克说;”我们共同向前迈进。我毫不怀疑，随着我们恢复正常，这种情况还会继续下去”。
Food and fibre sector forecast to hit record export revenue despite challenges
New Zealand’s food and fibre sector is predicted to achieve long term growth as it helps lead our COVID-19 economic recovery, Oceans and Fisheries Minister David Parker said.
The latest Situation and Outlook for Primary Industries (SOPI) report, released today at Fieldays 2021, forecasts growth across the sector and export revenue rising by 3.4 per cent to a record $49.1 billion for the year ending June 2022.
Export revenue is forecast to reach $53.1 billion for the year to June 2025.
This follows a small 1.1 per cent dip in total food and fibre sector exports for the year ending this June.
“The sector as a whole has performed remarkably well despite the headwinds COVID-19 has created. New Zealand’s farmers, growers, fishers, processors, makers, and crafters have risen to the challenges that 2021 has presented,” David Parker said.
“At the same time we all came to realise how interdependent we are, with truck drivers, processing staff and others in the supply chain ensuring products got to our markets.
“The Government played its part by classifying those industries, including the primary sector, as essential workers.”
The SOPI report shows that, in particular, the horticulture sector continued its upwards trajectory. Its export revenue is forecast to hit $6.6 billion, up 2.3 per cent for the year ending June 2021. The rise is driven by larger crops and export volumes of kiwifruit and avocados, as well as continued overseas demand for fresh fruit and wine.
David Parker said challenges arising from the pandemic, including food service disruptions and shipping logistics, have been felt across several sectors with the seafood sector hit harder than most.
“Demand did slow considerably during the pandemic, but export volumes and prices for products such as rock lobster are recovering well. The sector has done well to navigate the challenges of the past year.”
“This latest update also shows steady demand for dairy products, and forestry exports are bouncing back better than expected. Forestry revenue is forecast to reach $6.3 billion in 2021, an increase of 12.8 per cent, due to higher export volumes and prices,” Forestry Minister Stuart Nash said.
“Harvest and log export volumes are also set to increase 14.5 per cent and 21.4 per cent respectively. This is testament to the forestry sector’s resilience and hard work, something they should be very proud of.
“In January 2021, we also successfully signed our FTA upgrade with China, which included eliminating tariffs for 99 per cent of New Zealand’s nearly $3.3 billion wood and paper trade to China. This will have enduring benefits for our forestry sector,” Stuart Nash said.
David Parker said while the effects of COVID-19 would be seen for some time, including labour challenges, there was plenty of work under way to bridge that gap, including the Opportunity Grows Here campaign, to attract New Zealanders to food and fibre sector jobs.
The Government’s Fit for a Better World – Accelerating our Economic Potential Roadmap was an essential tool in driving New Zealand’s recovery from COVID-19, bringing together actions, investment, and resources to ensure we rebuild better, together.
“Together we are moving forward. I have no doubt this will continue as we navigate back to normality,” David Parker said.
