This is a significant bill for New Zealand's organic producers. Demand for organic products is high in New Zealand and overseas. The global market is worth $116 billion and, as of 2017, the size of the organic industry in New Zealand had reached approximately $600 million, an increase of 30 percent from 2015. A robust and practical framework is required to help facilitate and secure the ongoing growth of New Zealand's organic sector. The Government is committed to seeing the primary sector succeed and move away from a focus on volume to a focus on value.
