Kia ora Tom,
In this edition of Export News, we bring you a new range of market guides to help you navigate key markets in Africa – a fast-changing region that's rich in potential for New Zealand businesses.
We've also got the latest from MFAT on how the Government can work with you to help overcome barriers to trade, including unfair rules and regulations or other 'red tape'. And they're serious about getting it sorted – you'll hear back in 48 hours when you contact the team at tradebarriers.govt.nz.
Elsewhere, find out what's happening with New Zealand's presence at Expo 2020, learn how agritech exporter Te Pari has made generous terms pay off, and take your chance to nominate a great Bay of Plenty business (maybe your own?) for the region's upcoming ExportNZ Awards.
We've also got fresh market and industry insights, conferences and market workshops around the country, a sampling of the latest export success stories and industry updates – and two great roles in two great locations with NZTE, both closing early next week.
Māuriora – enjoy! |

Success on the right terms |
|

|
New Zealand's reputation as a source of safe, high-quality products puts us in a great position internationally – but there's no room for exporters to get complacent about their branding, as consumers worldwide become more focused than ever on trust and authenticity. |
