World Business Report

Available for over a year

Geographically, Britain and New Zealand couldn’t be further apart. But the Commonwealth country’s experience fifty years ago when the UK decided to join the European Economic Community could provide a useful Brexit roadmap. At the time, the UK accounted for around a third of New Zealand’s exports. Britain joining what would become the EU meant extra trade barriers and uncertainty. Businesses were unprepared and policymakers warned of chaos. Sound familiar? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Szu Ping Chan visited one farmer in New Zealand who took her on a journey down memory lane.
