Growing Latin American Demand for New Zealand Agritech

New Zealand’s agricultural technology is quietly reshaping how farmers work across Latin America. Home to more than 600 million people, it is a relatively small market for New Zealand but one that is growing steadily.

In 2025, New Zealand exported $900 million worth of agritech products and services to the region, an increase of 16% from 2024, and in the year to March 2026, New Zealand exports to the region rose to $1.62 billion, growing by almost $500 million over the last five years.

“A key driver of this growth has been our agritech exports. As countries across the region work to improve farm productivity and sustainability, New Zealand is emerging as a leader in this space. Our exporters are sharing proven approaches from New Zealand and helping adapt them to local conditions,” says New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s (NZTE) regional director for Latin America Stephen Blair.
