The Greater China region is New Zealand's largest source of trade partners, for both imports and exports. The region is New Zealand’s largest export destination, totalling NZ$15 billion in goods exports in 2018 (14 percent of total New Zealand exports). New Zealand also imported more than NZ$13 billion in goods from the Greater China region in 2018.
The New Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement was signed in April 2008 in Beijing. It is the first free trade agreement that the People’s Republic of China has signed with any developed country, and New Zealand’s largest trade deal since the 1983 Closer Economic Relations agreement with Australia.
Negotiations are underway to upgrade this agreement, opening up potential to strengthen this business and trade relationship even further.
​
We look forward to further growth and partnerships for New Zealand businesses in greater China – because together, we can do amazing things.
