KVH’s submission on proposed amendments to the Biosecurity Act can be read here.

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is leading the review and our comprehensive submission on behalf of the kiwifruit industry addresses most of the proposed changes. Significant areas for our sector that we have commented on relate to funding and compensation, readiness and response, and long-term management.

Once submissions are analysed MPI will publish a summary and make recommendations to the Minister for Biosecurity.

Thank you to those who have discussed the submission with us. We welcome any further questions or feedback at info@kvh.org.nz.
