1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends

Departmental Output Expenses

The increase over time in output expenses in part reflects the level of third party-funded activity operated on a full cost recovery basis. Memorandum accounts are used to keep track of the accumulated surpluses and deficits to enable the Ministry to take a long-run perspective to fee setting and cost recovery. Departmental output expenditure increased throughout 2017/18 and 2018/19 due to significant biosecurity responses, including Mycoplasma bovis. From 2020/21 onwards the baseline is expected to return to a more stable level as expenditure on biosecurity responses decrease.

Non-Departmental Output Expenses

Non-Departmental output expenses are expected to remain relatively constant in out years.

Non-Departmental Other Expenses

Non-departmental other expenses decrease significantly in 2019/20 and outyears due to the decrease in the compensation and ex-gratia payments appropriated during 2017/18 and 2018/19, specifically costs associated with Mycoplasma bovis. In other respects, non-departmental other expenses have remained relatively stable across previous years and is expected to continue into out years.

Departmental Capital Expenditure

Departmental Capital expenditure decreases for 2019/20 are mainly due to decreases in expenditure for the National Biocontainment Laboratory and the Wellington Accomodation Project.

Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure

Crown Irrigation Investments Limited has reduced expenditure as a result of the Cabinet decisions on irrigation investment proposals.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to:

$170.197 million decrease in funding between 2018/19 and 2019/20 for compensation and ex-gratia payments and response costs in relation to Mycoplasma bovis
$11.062 million decrease in funding for Compensation and ex-gratia payments following a Biosecurity Event
$6.844 million in 2018/19 only for fruit fly response activities at three locations in Auckland and the associated compensation, and
$6.145 million of funding was brought forward from future years into 2018/19 to accelerate the Kauri Dieback and Myrtle Rust Programme.

Increases in the appropriation include:

$10.500 million of funding for the Wilding Conifer Control initiative, and
$3.208 million of funding for Securing and Strengthening the Resilience of the Biosecurity System.

Memorandum accounts record the accumulated balance of surpluses and deficits incurred for outputs provided to third party users of those services on a full cost recovery basis.

The Border Biosecurity Clearance Fees memorandum account covers:

levies imposed on all importations of goods for which a document is lodged with the New Zealand Customs Service under regulations 26(2) of the Customs and Excise Regulations 1996, and

all other fees collected under the Biosecurity Costs Regulations 2010 including inspection of risk goods, offshore inspection of ships, and approval and audit of transitional containment facilities and facility operators.

The Phytosanitary Exports memorandum account covers fees for certification of plant and forestry exports.

The Border Biosecurity Traveller Clearance memorandum account covers fees and costs associated with the biosecurity clearance costs of travellers coming into New Zealand.

The Ministry for Primary Industries has a strategy of maintaining each memorandum account in a balanced state over the long term. It allows for changes in volumes resulting from fluctuations in economic activity and other matters. The charging model is periodically reviewed to ensure that the services are being provided in the most efficient cost-effective way and that the fees/levies reflect the cost of services provided.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The increase in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to:

$15.851 million to fund the Enabling Productive and Sustainable Land Use initiative. This initiative will move farmers to sustainable production systems and support better access to higher value global markets
$1.900 million expense transfer from 2018/19 to 2019/20 for work on the implementation of the Integrated Electronic Monitoring and Reporting System
$1.600 million expense transfer from 2018/19 to 2019/20 to fund the NZ Fisheries Management System Review, and
$426,000 in funding for improved monitoring of fishing catch.

Decreases in the appropriation include:

$3.100 million decrease in funding for the Regional Growth Programme initiative which ends in 2018/19. The programme was designed to facilitate progress on regional projects arising from Economic Action Plans
$600,000 decrease in funding for the eradication and long term management of Mycoplasma bovis, and
fiscally neutral adjustments which increased the 2018/19 baseline. These include: $4.479 million to support the delivery of the Digital Monitoring Programme, and $1.226 million for the Wellington Accommodation Project.
