Answer 8

evryone has done a good job at answering this but i must just confirm that unfortunatly kiwifruit does not ORIGINATE from New Zealand (see explanation below)

Like Dutch tulips have their origin in Asia, kiwifruit does not actually originate in New Zealand. Also known as Chinese gooseberries, the fruit comes from China but, when New Zealand farmers wanted to market their crop overseas in the 1960s, China was out of favour in the West. To identify the fruit with New Zealand, it was given the name kiwifruit. It is never called a kiwi. That term is reserved for the bird or to describe a person from New Zealand.

Chocolate fish originate from NZ though!

kumara also

Our biggest exports

New Zealand’s share of world merchandise trade is small, just 0.22 percent of world exports and 0.23 percent of imports.8  However, New Zealand is a major exporter of agricultural products. In 2001 they accounted for 52 percent of total merchandise exports, compared with the OECD average of just 6.8 percent.9   Internationally, New Zealand is a major player in the export of dairy and meat products, reflecting its wealth of natural resources and comparative advantage in producing these commodities.  In 2003 these two items accounted for 32 percent of total merchandise exports.  Other important exports include wood products, machinery, and fish and seafood (Table 5.3).

Table 5.3:  Key Exports - 2003

Major exports Value $(billions) % share

Dairy                       4.8                  17

Answer 11

New Zealand is know for wool.

Answer 12

marmite (if urve ever heard of it)

Answer 13

anything to do with sheep - wool, meat, hides

anything to do with cattle - meat, hides, dairy products

they also have deer - meat, hides, and horn

fish and shelllfish - look up paua (I believe they export a lot of it to Japan)

they make a special yarn that is a mixture of wool from sheep and possum fur called "possumdown" - fantastically warm but light (I had a cardigan knitted out of it, was the best garment I've ever had, unfortunately I wore it so much it got holes in the elbows)

goods made from possum hides - e.g. hats that will keep you warm in sub-zero temperatures

honey

food additives - e.g. tablets made from extract of green lipped mussels which is claimed to be good for arthritis

and don't forget tourism

is sport a "product" ? - they certainly export a lot of rugby and cricket !!

similarly, here in UK, we've got loads of NZ youngsters doing their "overseas experience" - are teachers etc. on their gap years a "product" ?
