Why Trade Collapsed in 2020
There's no single story that fits every year here. New Zealand's figure moves both ways across the period — don't extrapolate from the most recent year alone.
This decline fits a global pattern: COVID-19 disrupted supply chains and demand simultaneously in 2020, and trade flows fell broadly across most economies in the same year.
This rebound fits a global pattern: as economies reopened in 2021, trade flows recovered broadly, driven by pent-up demand and easing restrictions worldwide.
Use the direction of this line more than any single year's value — cheese (All Kinds) Import quantity figures like this one are most reliable as a trend indicator, less reliable as a precise year-by-year scorecard.
Source here is a national/international statistics body, not a live measurement — most time series like this are interpolated or modeled between actual survey years. Treat the trend as the real signal, individual years as approximate.
