Average Kiwis aren't the only ones shopping locally, McDonald's is too. 

The fast food giant spent more than $580 million on New Zealand produced ingredients last year, with around 90% of the ingredients it uses here being locally sourced. 

This includes 17 million kilograms of Canterbury potatoes, 10.5 million eggs, and more than 6,400 tonnes of beef.  

McDonald's NZ Head of Impact and Communications, Simon Kenny told Mike Hosking they're very fortunate in New Zealand that virtually everything on the menu can be sourced locally, and that's always their first point of call. 

He says in other markets, such as Asia, North America, and Western Europe, ingredients are sourced from all sorts of places.
