New Zealand and UAE business ties
New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have a strong relationship, evidenced by New Zealand's early support of Expo 2020 Dubai and a long history of trade and bilateral cooperation.
​
The UAE is New Zealand's tenth largest trading partner, with two-way trade worth nearly $4 billion. New Zealand is a natural partner for the UAE in the food and beverage and agritech sectors in particular, offering both a trusted source of premium-quality food and technical expertise to help the UAE manage its water and food security challenges.
NZTE’s office in Dubai supports New Zealand’s commercial relationships in the UAE, Qatar and the Levant countries.
