Port inefficiencies could undermine New Zealand's goals to double export earnings.  

The Cargo Owners Council says there's been a 30% drop in productivity since 2019.  

Chair Brent Falvey says there needs to be a comprehensive reset of our ports and a strategy for the whole supply chain.

Falvey says New Zealand is in the bottom 20% for port efficiency.
