Meat Industry Association CEO to Step Down
The Meat Industry Association of New Zealand (MIA) today announced that Chief Executive Officer Sirma Karapeeva has resigned from the role.
This morning he is in Kaikoura meeting local fishermen who have been affected by the quake especially with the rise in the seabed. This has created problems with berthing vessels and paua and crayfish beds have also been damaged. In Kaikoura, Guy will also meet with dairy farmers who have been unable to get their milk to processing plants because of damaged roads.
This afternoon he is meeting with farmers in Amberley and will then head to Waiau to see more damaged farms and get a first hand picture of the nature and scale of the problem.
