Why is Whole Milk Powder (WMP) the dominant product processed and exported by New Zealand dairy companies rather than fresh liquid milk?

Liquid milk is prohibited from being shipped across international maritime borders. WMP has a long shelf life and lower shipping weight relative to volume, facilitating long-distance ocean freight. International consumers strictly prefer powdered milk over fresh liquid milk for direct daily beverage consumption. Processing WMP requires zero energy or capital expenditure compared to pasteurizing liquid milk.

Correct Answer:

WMP has a long shelf life and lower shipping weight relative to volume, facilitating long-distance ocean freight.
