Livestock and Other Agricultural Supplies Wholesaling in New Zealand - Industry Research Report

Stock Still: the Covid-19 Pandemic Has Limited Demand Across the Industry's Supply Chain

The Livestock and Other Agricultural Supplies Wholesaling industry sells a range of goods to buyers across New Zealand's agriculture sector. These goods include live beef and dairy cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and deer, and supplies like stockfeed, hay, seeds and plants, nursery stock, leather and hides and other goods. The industry relies heavily on domestic livestock farmers, which make up the bulk of agricultural operations. As exports are accounted for at the agricultural and manufacturing levels, the industry is not directly engaged in international trade. However, many domestically produced agricultural goods are export-oriented, which means that domestic agricultural activity is exposed to global agriculture supply, demand and price trends.

Industry operators wholesale livestock (including agent services), skins and hides, stock feed, flowers, farm supplies and agricultural products. The industry excludes companies that wholesale wool, cereal grains, fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products, agricultural chemicals (e.g. fertilisers and pesticides), fencing materials, veterinary drugs, machinery and equipment.
