I want to deal with agriculutre and economy in new Zealand because it´s a great job to clue up my classmates about that, what farmers grow up in the country where the ozone is very thin.
Every country has its own things that are abundant for exporting and of course natural goods like coal or iron ore. New Zealand has not much mineral resources, but the island exports a lot of lamb, beef and pork. Wool and milk-products are also exported while petroleum, plastics and machinery have to be imported.
Main customer-countries of goods from New Zealand are China, USA, Europe, Japan and Australia. Agriculture is very important for the island and it´s with 8% part of the gross domestic product. The fields are mostly sown with maize, wheat and barley. Some prople also have kiwi plantations and you associate that fact with the bird "KIWI".
Ca. 2 million tourists travel to New Zealnd every year and the main reason of that is mainly the various landscapes. Some people say that every tenth person in N.Z. works for the tourism and it´s another part of the fluently working economy.
The north part of the island is mainly dealing with trade while the south-side is the agriculture-side.
I can´t imagine that people in N.Z. have to import necessary machinery like some robots for automobil-industry but myself don´t know if we in Germany import machinery. I always think that we are a strong country and produce our own machinery but I think I have to check this in the internet.

Nice entry Romina... I've heard that there are more lambs than people in NZ, is that right?
