This study describes the crisis of the New Zealand economy at the beginning of the deregulation process and explains why the farm sector was at the centre of the reform. The removal of state support to agriculture and the transition measures set in place are documented. The report also analyses the effects of the reform on farms both at the structural level and in terms of farm incomes. The analysis concludes that the farm sector has maintained its level of economic activity despite important reductions in state support.
