Question

Compare and contrast the economic activities of Australia and New Zealand.

Answer 1

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

Australia and New Zealand are leading global producers of wool products. Both countries attract large numbers of visitors and have sound tourism and service sectors. Australia’s climate makes large-scale farming challenging, although the country does produce wheat, bananas, pineapples, sugarcane, and other products. Cattle and sheep ranching are more widespread. Australia is a leading producer of opal, bauxite, and lead. New Zealand, by contrast, has a far more fertile landscape. Major exports include beef, dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Mining is a smaller industry, but gold, limestone, coal, and natural gas also are found in New Zealand. Australia’s economy is larger and more diverse than New Zealand’s and, as such, is stronger.

Answer 2

Hey, Name's Jessy. I hope, I answer your question.

Both countries are island nations in the South Pacific. One similarity is that both countries were colonies of Great Britain at one time. The two countries share an interest in many of the same sports including cricket, rugby, and soccer.
