New Zealand’s agricultural economy is deeply connected to global markets, yet international demand, trade policies, and shifting supply chains are creating both opportunities and challenges for producers, exporters, and communities. From commodity pricing and logistics to sustainability standards and biosecurity, decisions made here resonate far beyond Aotearoa’s borders. At the forefront of understanding these dynamics is ANZ, a leader in agricultural finance, market insights, and global economic analysis.
In this Vibe session, our keynote speaker Matt Dilly from ANZ will share insights drawn from their work monitoring and supporting New Zealand’s primary sectors in the context of international trade. Matt will explore trends shaping global agricultural supply chains, the economic pressures and risks facing producers, and how innovation, finance, and policy interact to support resilient, future-focused farming. The session will provide a window into the strategies and tools that can help navigate uncertainty, adapt to market shifts, and strengthen New Zealand’s place in the global food system.
Join us for a timely discussion on the state of our agricultural economy, the forces shaping global supply chains, and how insight, strategy, and innovation can support sustainable growth for Aotearoa’s primary industries.
