The Exporter – September 2024

This month, we bid farewell to Kirk Hope and warmly welcomed Katherine Rich as the new Chief Executive of Business New Zealand. Katherine brings a wealth of experience in policy and advocacy, having led the New Zealand Food & Grocery Council (NZFGC) for several years, following a nine-year tenure in Parliament. She also has deep knowledge of New Zealand’s export sector, having represented the NZFGC on the GS1 Board, served as a member of the New Zealand International Business Forum, and spent five years on the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) as a New Zealand representative. During her time with ABAC, Katherine focused on reducing non-tariff barriers for exporters across the region—a priority that many exporters will surely appreciate.

The Exporter – August 2024

Last month, shipping costs spiked, this month is it electricity prices surging due to a perfect storm of low lake levels, low wind generation, and low gas supplies. While electricity and shipping costs are currently below their highest peaks, costs remain high and are putting unnecessary pressure on exporters and businesses. Check this month’s trade and advocacy update for more information.
