Meet the team

Our Dairy Team (dairyteam@nzx.com) at NZX looks at the domestic and international movements of the dairy industry. Our work involves understanding not only global supply, production, processing, and exports, but also to look at input costs such as brent crude oil and fertilisers, as well as financial controls including inflation, interest rates, FX, etc.
