Like crops? From the article:

While bad news for dairy, the study found employment and economic output would be boosted in a scenario where farmers switched to growing crops, which would also result in significant reductions in emissions and nutrient loss.

But I also think of NZ produce as being more premium. There will likely be room for lots of players in a market like that.

NZ does not chase the premium market in any product though. We don't sell premium cheese, premium milk, premium vegetables etc. We sell to the bidders in a global auction.

NZ Chocolate. It's far better than anything America makes, which isn't a difficult thing but it's at least where the goal is for "accepted".

Maybe that's true but again how much of a dent has NZ made in the premium chocolate market?
