Shearing, Cropping and Agricultural Support Services in New Zealand - Industry Market Research Report

Quality harvest: Horticultural industry growth has supported industry demand and revenue

The Shearing, Cropping and Agricultural Support Services industry has faced mixed conditions. The domestic dairy cattle herd's size skews the industry's performance towards the dairy sector's performance. But other vital markets like other livestock farmers (primarily sheep and beef cattle), horticultural producers, fishing and aquaculture businesses and other crop growers also substantially influence industry demand. The industry tends to be less exposed to price and output fluctuations volatility than its downstream customers. This trend occurs because the price of support services displays milder movements than prices of agricultural goods like dairy and meat. Industry operators primarily provide services to the agriculture and fishing sector, such as shearing, livestock support services, crop harvesting and animal testing. Agistment services are not included in the industry. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
