For the last 60 years DairyNZ and its predecessors (the New Zealand Dairy Board and Dexcel) have been publishing the Economic Survey under various names. These publications summarise the financial performance of New Zealand dairy farms for each financial year (season). By combining the results of each publication, we create a dataset that describes the financial position and performance of the average New Zealand dairy farm including the following observations:
- The intensification and expansion of the sector
- A negative trend in the percentage total return on assets
- Fluctuations in the Debt to Asset Ratio of dairy farms
- Dairy farmers are spending more on feed in real terms.
