" Despite Asian markets historically being viewed as lower-value, export values have risen in line with volumes, up 23% in July 2018 to total NZ$312 million," explained Forshaw.

The strong export demand for NZ beef remained strong in recent months, while the domestic price for beef in the country has also been gaining soe strenght.
