Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion adds 4000 square metres of storage capacity, supporting New Zealand's dairy exports, which reached a record $28.8 billion for the year to June. The port's growth is supported by a mix of bulk cargo, forestry exports, and farm inputs, benefiting the South Island's supply chain.
