New Zealand Aims to Double Red Meat Exports by 2034

New Zealand's government aims to double the value of red meat exports by 2034. To achieve this goal, the government plans to grow more and sell more red meat. The government has already made progress in opening and protecting markets, backing the value of what farmers produce, and fixing the rules. New Zealand has more market access than it can supply, and the government wants to fill the orders. The government has announced a land use flexibility policy to give farmers room to change with market conditions. The policy aims to meet environmental and climate commitments while allowing farmers to produce more. The government is also investing in the LIFT programme to lift hill-country pasture use and feed conversion. Additionally, the government is backing new tools to cut methane emissions and speeding up approvals for vet medicines and other farm products.
