The given bar chart compares the values of Southland’s major exports in 2000 and 2024, with projected data for 2025. Overall, we can see that international tourism and dairy products remain the dominant export sectors, with both experiencing growth over time, while meat products have followed a downward trend.
In 2000, international tourism exports were worth about £8 billion. This amount grew to £9 billion by 2024 and is expected to rise further to £10 billion in 2025. Similarly, dairy exports started at around £7 billion in 2000 and peaked at nearly £10 billion in 2024. However, forecasts suggest a slight drop to £9.5 billion by 2025.
On the contrary, meat products, the third largest export, have shown a steady decline. Their value decreased from £6 billion in 2000 to £5.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to fall further to £5 billion in 2025. This is only half of the revenue from international tourism, highlighting the differences between export industries.
