1 An Investor s Guide to the New Zealand Food & Beverage Industry Final Report October 2011; v1.2 This information was prepared by Coriolis solely for the use of our client; it is not to be relied on by any third party without prior written consent.

2 Coriolis is a strategic management consulting and market research firm We work with organisations to help them grow. For corporations, that often means developing strategies for revenue growth. For governments, it means working on national economic development. For non profits, it means helping to grow their social impact. We address all the problems that are involved in growth: strategy, marketing, pricing, innovation, new product development, new markets, organisation, leadership, economic competitiveness. We bring to our clients specialised industry and functional expertise. We invest significant resources in building knowledge. We see it as our mission to bring this knowledge to our clients and we publish much of it for the benefit of others. A hallmark of our work is rigorous, fact based analysis, grounded in proven methodologies. We rely on data because it provides clarity and aligns people. However, we deliver results, not reports. To that end, we work side by side with our clients to create and implement practical solutions. The Coriolis name The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis ( ), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. To us it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO Box , Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Tel:

3 The objective of this document is to make a strong, factual case for investment in the New Zealand food and beverage industry. This investment can come from existing investors or those new to the sector. This investment can come from global sources or New Zealand. The document acts as an entry portal to the wealth of further information available in on the sector in the New Zealand Government s Food & Beverage Information Project.

4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New Zealand is well positioned to triple its food and beverage exports over the next 15 years; investors will participate in this success General - New Zealand is a developed, temperate climate country in the Asia Pacific region. It is a stable democracy with strong economic freedoms (Index of Economic Freedom #4), excellent investor protection (World Bank #1) and low corruption (Transparency International #1). It is by almost all measures the most attractive investment destination in the temperate zone of the Southern Hemisphere. Food & beverages - Food and beverage exports are important to New Zealand and the country is a major F&B exporter. New Zealand s F&B exports are growing strongly and the country s export performance is strong and improving relative to peers. - The country has demonstrated capability in the production of temperate climate food and beverages. It is the largest exporter in the world of dairy products and lamb and a major exporter of beef, kiwifruit, apples and seafood. Drivers - The success of New Zealand in temperate foods is built around a natural environment conducive to agriculture. New Zealand surrounded by the Pacific Ocean has the light of Spain with the climate of Bordeaux. This climate will also moderate the effects of global warming going forward (relative to large continents). - The country s farmers are highly productive and efficient. The country has no agricultural subsidies and regulation is generally rational and light handed. - New Zealand has a supportive infrastructure for food and beverages along the total value chain. - New Zealand is a leader in food safety and product traceability. Customers and consumers around the world trust food and beverages produced in New Zealand. - In science, New Zealand spends more than half a billion dollars a year on Agri Food research across a wide range of areas, from fruit genetics to nutraceuticals. The country is also home to four major universities respected globally for their Agri food research. Opportunities - While New Zealand is a major global F&B exporter, the country has significant untapped capacity to export more. New Zealand is a country the size of Italy with the population of Singapore. However Italy feeds a domestic population of 60m people and exports twice as much F&B as New Zealand. - The New Zealand Government has set a target of tripling the country s food and beverage exports over the next 15 years. This will be achieved through both growth of existing major sectors and the newer emerging growth stars. - New Zealand is a young country still discovering its comparative advantages and new industries continue to emerge. In the past twenty years New Zealand wine, honey, aquaculture and avocados have all emerged from almost nothing into world leading sectors. - New Zealand has attracted investment in F&B manufacturing from around the world. Global leaders have already endorsed New Zealand by investing in manufacturing in the country and 25% of the F&B manufacturing sector is foreign owned. PAGE 4
