The Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand is welcoming the announcement of a trade agreement between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and New Zealand that is set to eliminate all dairy tariffs from day one.

She says the deal not only boosts New Zealand’s dairy sector but also sets a high standard for future trade agreements.
Crewther emphasises the broader implications, including ongoing negotiations with the GCC to enhance market access.
