The rural sector of New Zealand is the biggest contributor to New Zealand's economy. Dairy, agriculture, fishing, and forestry are significant both today and historically. Exported goods from the rural economy (including processed products) contribute well over half the the country's export earnings with more than half of New Zealand's land area being used for farming and plantations.
