So the US only allows in so much NZ dairy every year; you have to get quota to be a supplier into that restricted market. Similarly, the old New Zealand Dairy Board was allocated a bunch of quota from the EU for access to the protected European market - I think because of prior NZ preferential entry into the UK. If those markets were freed, we'd not need the quota. But if the country as a whole can only send so much dairy export to particular markets, our govt is stuck keeping track of it. <br /><br />There are also general export licenses, but again, I think those are for over-quota export to quota-controlled countries; after the quota is exhausted, we then go to standard tariff-rate export. But they have to keep track of what bits go towards the quota allocation (given us by other countries) and what bits are then over-quota. <br /><br />See here:<br /><br />http://caps.massey.ac.nz/docs/Discussion%20pap21%20%20for%20web.pdf<br /><br />http://www.foodsafety.govt.nz/industry/sectors/dairy/exporting/QMS/<br /><br />http://www.maf.govt.nz/news-resources/faqs/faqs-dairy-export-rights.aspxEric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-31212250302889689952011-12-05T09:00:12.335+13:002011-12-05T09:00:12.335+13:00@Chris - I'll check...@Chris - I'll check...Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-54170532232885524952011-12-05T07:38:35.690+13:002011-12-05T07:38:35.690+13:00Eric, I thought I read that New Zealand's dome...Eric, I thought I read that New Zealand's domestic dairy market is basically free, but trade is still controlled (it is somewhat misleading to label that "supply management"). I'll correct my post if that's not the case. Do you have a good reference?Chris Auldhttp://chrisauld.comnoreply@blogger.com
