NZ Apple Sector Pushes for Japan & Korea Market Access
The apple sector is working with the Government to unlock access to two key markets that could bring millions in revenue for apple growers.
Climate Minister, Simon Watts has written to mayors and councillors across New Zealand outlining his concerns.
Councils shouldn’t default to worst-case assumptions that can unnecessarily increase rates and delay investment.
Watts has directed officials to take stock of how these scenarios are being used and provide advice on whether stronger national direction or legislative change is needed to restore consistency and common sense.
This will be welcomed by the rural community who are being slapped with increasing rates by their regional councils, some under the guise of climate change.
