Textiles NZ: Russian Market Visit a Great Success Print E-mail

June 2010, - Textiles NZ led a delegation of companies to Moscow to explore the market opportunities for the wool (strong wool, mid-micron, merino) and possum/merino industries in Russia.
The market visit programme was organised with assistance from Prior Group.
The main highlights of the market visit included:-
* All companies on the delegation obtaining serious business proposals which are now being followed up
* All companies feeling very happy with the joint market visit
* Textiles NZ obtaining other business proposals which it is now following up with its other members

* Very strong interest in NZ’s strong wool for carpet, rug and blanket manufacture
* Strong interest from Russian companies to form joint-ventures with NZ wool companies
* Strong interest from Russian companies to invest in wool companies in NZ, particularly to obtain access to NZ’s innovation
* The All-Russia Chamber of Commerce decision to sign a protocol agreement with Textiles NZ to promote on-going business relationships between the two countries
* Russia and NZ signing an agreement to commence FTA negotiations between the two countries. It is expected that the duties* imposed on NZ exports to Russia will be dramatically reduced, and this was greeted with much enthusiasm by the NZ companies and the Russian importers
* A meeting in Moscow with Minister Tim Groser (Minister for Trade), Ambassador Ian Hill (NZ Ambassador to Russia ), NZ Ambassador to the WTO and officials regarding opportunities for the NZ wool sector in Russia and the upcoming FTA negotiations

Russia - New Zealand History

Russian knowledge of New Zealand and the Maori dates from the late seventeenth century. New Zealand was the first region of Polynesia of which the Russians had authoritative data, all collected from the Dutch. The Dutch material was complemented in the later eighteenth century by primary accounts of Captain James Cook's several visits to that country and his lengthy stays within Queen Charlotte Sound.
In 1808 and 1814, the first Russian encounters with the Maori took place at Cape Town and Sydney. Though the officers of the Diana and Suvorov found the Maoris from the Bay of Islands (Matara, Ruatara, Hongi Hika, and others) intellectually quick and very friendly, they could not think of them other than as recent and potential cannibals.
The reports of Cook and his associates, published in German, French, and Russian, reinforced this association. Nonetheless, a Russian expedition led by Captain F.F. Bellingshausen paid a visit to Queen Charlotte Sound in 1820, using Cook's charts and accounts. It proved to be most important from the standpoint of ethnology, and was useful for the visitors as well, who were amply supplied with food.
