No Panic Buying Please, There's Plenty of Fuel Around - Feds
Farmers want more direct, accurate information about both fuel and fertiliser supply.
Roy, who has been chair of NZPork since 2019, received the award for his production, leadership, advocacy and political service to primary industries and rural communities in New Zealand and the wider Pacific for nearly 60 years.
His work for Young Farmers culminated in his election as world president, and the six-term Member of Parliament has also excelled in roles with Federated Farmers, Pamu, the Meat & Wool Board and a host of community and charity initiatives.
"Few can match his contribution - Eric Roy is a truly exceptional New Zealander," the judging panel said.
NZPork deputy chair Jason Palmer says Roy’s decades of service to farming, rural communities and public life reflect a commitment to doing the right thing for farmers, the primary sector and the country.
“He has provided invaluable leadership to NZPork during his time as chair on our board, helping shape the future of sustainable pig farming in New Zealand. We’re really pleased to see that contribution recognised at a national level.”
