Germany country brief
Germany is the political and economic leader of Europe. It owes much of its present prosperity to trade.
With more than 82 million people who enjoy a high standard of living, Germany is a lucrative but price-conscious market.
Germany is New Zealand’s second largest European trade partner behind the United Kingdom. It’s a major market for New Zealand lamb, casein, venison, dairy products, apples and kiwifruit, with exports of wool, fish and machinery also in demand. Germans generally regard New Zealand as a green and clean haven.
