Total exports reached an all-time high in May despite a continued downward trend in the Chinese market.\xa0

Last month's exports were valued at $7.2 billion for the first time.\xa0

China was the number one market, but beef exports dropped 45% compared to last year.\xa0

Export NZ advocacy director Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that she believes Chinese demand will come back because they are so large.\xa0

She says the growth won't be as big as it's been for the last five-to-ten years, as their economy is re-balancing.\xa0
