New Zealand is a developed country.
In terms of per capita GDP, New Zealand has reached US$42,000, ranking among the top developed countries in the world. From the perspective of industrial structure, New Zealand has already entered a "post-industrial society". In addition to a small amount of medical equipment, yachts, and aluminum smelting industries, it is mainly a food processing industry. Primary industries such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and forestry are the main economic pillars.
From an enterprise perspective, New Zealand also lacks large multinational companies. The only well-known company is the milk processor Fonterra Group. Obviously, the agricultural and animal husbandry economy and manufacturing are not the main factors for New Zealand to become a developed economy.
