Biosecurity Confirmed As Number One Commitment
Today’s announcement by the Minister of Biosecurity was welcomed by NZ Kiwifruit Grower’s President Peter Ombler. “We have been working with Government to effectively manage the Psa incursion and welcome the Minister’s announcement as a further step forward to improve Biosecurity outcomes for NZ”, said Peter Ombler.
“Our experience in the kiwifruit industry with Psa is that the only way in which to effectively manage a Biosecurity incursion is through partnering with Government. We are a living example of how this can work. For example today at the request of the kiwifruit industry MAF has imposed movement control over plant material, namely nursery stock, preventing its removal from Te Puke. This was done at the request of the industry to help prevent Psa spreading around NZ.”
