Pork Remains Among NZ's Most Affordable Meats: Stats NZ
As the cost-of-living crisis continues to put pressure on household grocery budgets, new figures show pork remains one of the most affordable fresh meat options for New Zealand families.
Molloy, who farms in the Selwyn district, will be a producer representative for NZPork's Region 3, covering the South Island.
Molloy has been elected for the period until 31 July 2028. He replaces Nigel Young, who has stepped down as a director.
NZPork chair Paul Bucknell says Molloy will be a valuable addition to the board.
“Sean’s family have been farming pigs for more than 40 years. He is a strong advocate for the industry and passionate about pig welfare, sustainable farming systems and advancements in technology," Bucknell says.
“We are looking forward to the insights, skills and knowledge he will bring to the board table."
Molloy's Offally Farms at Sheffield is home to 400 breeding sows, with the farm also growing its own barley as feed for the pigs. Effluent from their stock is treated and used as fertiliser on their irrigated land.
