Chinese strategy
OPINION: Fonterra may have sold its dairy farms in China but the appetite for collaboration with the country remains strong.
In June, 50 vets were granted border exemptions, but only a handful have arrived so far; and 200 dairy workers were granted border exemptions, but fewer than five have arrived so far. And just last month 200 machinery operators were given the green light - none have arrived so far.
These numbers paint a sad picture of the MIQ system. Something needs to change, and quickly.
