BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES It has not been reported that previously how much food New Zealand (NZ), population 4.9 million (M), exports and imports in terms of how many people this food would feed if the food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) were followed. In New Zealand, 40% of adults and 20% of children live in a household with severe to moderate food insecurity. METHODS Official data for foods and beverages exported and imported between 2016 and 2018 was obtained from Statistics New Zealand. Harmonised food classifications were matched to either a food group or as discretionary foods or ingredients. Standard serving sizes in grams and number of servings/day from each food group viz; vegetables, 5 servings/day; fruit, 2 servings/day; grains 6 servings/day; meat and protein foods 2.5 servings/day: and dairy 2.5 servings/day were used to determine how many people would be fed each year with the food traded. Together these servings should meet a daily energy intake in the order of 8 MJ. The trade of discretionary foods and ingredients, alcoholic beverages, butter and sugar was also examined. RESULTS According to the guidelines the quantity of food exported each year by NZ had enough numbers of servings to feed 39 M dairy, 11.5 M meat, seafood and other protein, 2 M vegetables and 10 M fruit day/year. Imports were dominated by grains, enough to feed 9 M six servings a day/year. Total food energy exported and imported was enough to meet the energy requirements for 20 M (30% from butter) and 10 M (27% from sugar), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of food insecurity and obesity in NZ could be partially attributed to the disconnect between the quantity, nutritional quality and diversity of foods imported and exported.

与基于食物的饮食指南有关的新西兰食物进出口。

背景/目的尚未报道过，如果以食物为基础的饮食指南（FBDG）得到满足，新西兰（NZ），人口490万（M）的食物量，进出口量取决于该食物的喂养人数。跟着。在新西兰，有40％的成年人和20％的儿童生活在严重至中度粮食不安全的家庭中。方法2016年至2018年期间进出口食品和饮料的官方数据来自新西兰统计局。统一的食品分类与某个食品类别或任意食品或配料相匹配。每个食物组的标准食用份量（克）和每天食用份数，即；蔬菜，每天5份；水果，每天2份；谷物6份/天；肉类和蛋白质食品2.5份/天：乳制品2。每天使用5份食物来确定每年要交易的食物有多少人。这些份量一起应能满足每天8 MJ的能量摄入。还检查了非必需食品和配料，酒精饮料，黄油和糖的贸易。结果根据指南，新西兰每年出口的食物数量足以满足3900万乳制品，1150万肉，海鲜和其他蛋白质，200万蔬菜和1000万水果/日的需求。进口以谷物为主，每天足以供应900万份六餐。进出口食物总能量分别足以满足20 M（黄油中30％）和10 M（糖中27％）的能量需求。
