Are you interested in the bigger picture economic issues surrounding the Ministry’s agricultural and horticultural products regulatory review?
The review will identify opportunities where farmers and growers could have more timely access to new agricultural and horticultural products, while maintaining an appropriate balance between access to these products and managing risk.
We expect significant interest in practical solutions that address issues with the approval path, but we’re also interested in looking at the bigger picture economic issues around approving these products.
As part of our work to understand why and how New Zealand currently regulates agriculture and horticulture products, the Ministry has produced an economic analysis issues paper that sets out how the Ministry is going to approach economic analysis for the Review.
AgHort Products Regulatory Review economic issues paper
The paper explores a range of issues and questions for interested people to consider around: Market Definition, Risks, Market Failure, Policy Options and Costs and Benefits.
We encourage you to have you say on the review through our engagement hub where we are taking written submissions until 8 September.
