New Zealand-based companies are earning more from increased exports of sugary drinks to the Pacific, while Kiwi taxpayers are helping pay for rising healthcare costs.
The finding is from Australian research, which shows imports of sweetened drinks to Pacific countries increased by an average of 0.3 kg per person each year from 2000 to 2015.
The SMC asked experts to comment on the research.
Associate Professor Lisa Te Morenga, Rutherford Discovery Fellow, Research Centre for Hauora and Health, Massey University, comments:
“Imported foods and drinks are widely recognized by Pacific governments to be a major contributor to increasing rates of non-communicable diseases in their countries. However, they face big challenges when trying to limit the supply of unhealthy food and drink imports into their countries.

But who is winning the trans-Tasman tourism ad battle, Australia or New Zealand?
