About these numbers
Industry here is one of the 109 industries in Stats NZ's input-output tables (working industries EE131). Buying and selling, and where each $100 goes, come from those tables for the year to March 2020, the latest published.
Exports are this year's goods exports, shared out to industries: each HS code is matched to input-output products (through the UN's product classification), then split between the industries that make each product, in proportion to how much they make. Services exports aren't included.
Output, emissions, jobs and pay are for the broader group shown on each chart.
