Alistair Schorn, a board member of Organics Aotearoa NZ, sheds light on a new research paper that explores New Zealand's Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with the EU and UK.
As the EU rolls out its ambitious 'Green Deal', aimed at making the region climate neutral by 2050, Schorn discusses the profound implications for New Zealand's primary export sector.
He delves into the challenges posed by aligning New Zealand's organic standards with the EU's stringent requirements and the burden on beef producers to prove their products are deforestation-free.
Additionally, Schorn explores broader future trends and the need for New Zealand to strategically prepare for evolving international trade standards.
