The values of kiwi fruit from New Zealand exports to five nations between 2010 and 2012 are shown in the table.

Overall, it is evident that Japan was New Zealand’s largest export market. In addition, over the course of three years, the value of kiwi exports to Saudi Arabia fell significantly, while the reverse was recorded in the remaining countries.

In 2010, exports of kiwi fruit to Japan were more than 270 million dollars, nearly three times that of China and ten times that of Saudi Arabia. This year, exports to Mexico and Russia brought in lesser money, with 1.2 million for Mexico and 968,000 dollars for Russia.

By 2012, exports to Japan increased significantly and totalled more than 325 million dollars. A rise in the figures for China, Mexico, and Russia was also witnessed at $94 million, $3.3 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. However, in 2011, the value of kiwi exports to Saudi Arabia had only decreased to $106,000, and by 2012, it had reached $82,000.
