Rural Resilience Workshops to Help Farmers Prepare for Adverse Events
Agriculture Minister Todd McClay says a series of rural resilienced set to be rolled out next week will help farmers and growers better prepared for adverse weather events.
Trade Minister Todd McClay is planning to meet his counterparts in the next few months to test the waters for a deal.
“We need those discussions, particularly because the biggest opportunity for NZ exporters is Japan, which is big for horticulture and beef. So we are keen to engage with the rest of the countries [in the TPP] to see if we can still harvest the benefits of the TPP.
“Rather than the whole thing falling over, it is still worth trying to progress a TPP without the US.”
