Abstract

Chapter 7 reviews New Zealand’s diversification to new dairy export markets together with the many obstacles to that diversification. The realisation that the British market would not grow gave a prime incentive for diversification. The increased sale of milk powder and by-products to Asia and the Americas made New Zealand’s overseas earnings from dairy produce 60% higher in real terms in 1975 than in 1945. The New Zealand dairy industry achieved the necessary change despite American restrictions on dairy imports and sales of domestic surpluses by the USA and many others in competition with New Zealand. Because New Zealand had diversified both markets and products, the European Economic Community (EEC) quotas agreed when Britain joined proved to be far less a concern than expected when Britain first approached the EEC a decade earlier.
