Objectives of the Vote

One of Government's priorities is to build a more competitive and productive economy. Increasing the success of our primary sectors is critical to growing the New Zealand economy. For domestic and export success, food and food related products are the key commodities. Our reputation and our economic advantage are in part based on safe food backed up by reliable systems. Vote Food Safety seeks to create an environment where food is both safe and suitable, but also supports the necessary regulatory platform for improving New Zealand's economic growth.
