U.S.–NZ agricultural ties run deep, from livestock genetics to wine and high-quality U.S. pork.
Department of Agriculture Under Secretary Luke J. Lindberg and the U.S. agricultural delegation on the road to see firsthand how American agriculture connects with New Zealand. The day included a cattle farm using U.S. genetics, a visit to a U.S.-owned Martinborough winery, and a pork processing facility handling U.S. product. "I pulled on my very first pair of iconic Red Bands gumboots. I was assured they’re essentially the official uniform for farm visits in New Zealand, and standing in a Wairarapa paddock surrounded by cattle genetics, local wine, and U.S. pork, I’ve genuinely never felt more appropriately dressed for statecraft."- U.S. Ambassador Novelly. Different industries, same story: agriculture connects our economies through farmers, businesses, science, innovation, and a frankly impressive amount of food. If diplomacy is about finding common ground, the Wairarapa gave us several hundred acres of it. 🇺🇸🇳🇿
