Diversify or Double Down – the Post-CoVid recovery conundrum for New Zealand Exporters

As the New Zealand economy finds it way through the early days of post-covid recovery many exporters are re-evaluating their export market mix and re-considering where to place their time and energy. New Zealand Trade & Enterprise is New Zealand’s trade promotion agency and is currently working with exporters in New Zealand and across the globe to assist in re-energising international trade and economic recovery for these companies and the country. Join us to hear from Tony Martin, NZTE’s Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia to hear about how some of these markets are faring and where New Zealand exporters are choosing to focus and invest.
