Export volumes have fallen 5.3% in the last quarter.

But import volumes have risen, up 3.6%.

Statistics New Zealand says export volumes recorded their largest fall since the March 2008 quarter.

That was largely due to falls from high levels in key areas such as meat, forestry and dairy.

Import volumes have been steadily rising - up 19% over the last seven consecutive quarters.
