This appropriation increased by $810,000 to $1.310 million for 2015/16 due to:
- an expense transfer of $860,000 from 2014/15 to 2015/16 due to the timing of the response to the Kiwifruit disease Pseudomonas Syringae pv. Antinidia (Psa-V), and
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $450,000 from the Biosecurity Incursion Response and Long Term Pest Management appropriation in 2015/16 to fulfil the government $25 million commitment to the kiwifruit industry led programme for responding to the Psa-V outbreak.
The increase was offset by:
- an expense transfer of $500,000 from 2015/16 to 2016/17 to support the Psa-V plan in 2016/17.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $2.427 million to $181.388 million for 2015/16 due to:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $1.433 million from an increase in demand and funding for services to other public sector agencies and third parties,
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $1.925 million for the response to a Velvetleaf incursion,
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $574,000 between departmental output expenses and revenue Crown to align baseline with operational budgets and reflect updated overhead allocation, and
- $380,000 increase is due to the realignment of operational funding for the National Bio-containment Laboratory to reflect delivery of the project.
In addition, an increase in appropriation due to expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 of:
- $1.967 million due to the timing of the response relating to the Queensland Fruit Fly surveillance and eradication programme in Auckland,
- $230,000 to reflect the change in the expenditure and timing profile of the National Bio-containment Laboratory project,
- $201,000 due to slower than anticipated contract negotiations with third parties undertaking research projects and the delivery and completion of project milestones,
- $111,000 for the Joint Border Management Systems programme, and
- $100,000 for training in the management and containment of foot and mouth disease which was delayed as a result of the Nepal Earthquake.
The increase was partly offset by:
- a transfer of $2.359 million of efficiency savings realised in 2015/16 to 2016/17 to allow the Ministry to meet baseline cost pressures,
- a return of $1.430 million to the Crown following the successful completion of the eradication of Queensland fruit fly,
- a reprioritisation of $450,000 Crown funding within the Vote to top-up the non-departmental expense Response to the Kiwifruit disease Pseudomonas Syringae pv. Antinidiae (Psa-V), and
- a baseline contribution of $255,000 for the share of costs for Budget 2015 whole-of-government initiatives.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $1.259 million to $101.750 million for 2015/16 due to:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $1.756 million between departmental output expenses and revenue Crown to align baseline with operational budgets and reflect updated overhead allocation, and
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $171,000 from an increase in demand and funding for services to other public sector agencies and third parties.
In addition, an increase due to expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 of:
- $1.403 million of fisheries research programmes due to adverse weather conditions,
- $400,000 for international relations to cover the cost of activities under free trade agreements and for implementation of agricultural cooperation arrangements,
- $375,000 to support the programme of improvements to the administration of the Forest Act 1949,
- $350,000 for implementation costs required to assist in delivering greater national consistency in managing the effects of plantation forestry under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA),
- $305,000 reflecting an interruption in work programmes, caused by diverting resources to Operation Concord food protection response,
- $300,000 relating to fisheries policy advice third party negotiations,
- $269,000 reflecting delays in the procurement process for all-of-government ICT initiatives for an Electronic Content Management System (ECMS) and Telecommunication as a Service (TaaS), and
- $150,000 to address Whey Protein Concentrate inquiry recommendations to provide improved capacity for engagement with China and other new markets.
The increase was partly offset by:
- an expense transfer of $2.000 million from 2015/16 to 2016/17 due to milestones delays in fisheries research contracts caused by adverse marine weather conditions and researcher availability,
- a transfer of $1.977 million of efficiency savings realised in 2015/16 to 2016/17 to allow the Ministry to meet baseline cost pressures,
- a baseline contribution of $213,000 for the share of costs for Budget 2015 whole-of-government initiatives, and
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $30,000 to Vote Transport as a contribution towards the Tauranga maritime incident (Rena) response.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $766,000 to $97.439 million in 2015/16 due to:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $1.162 million from increase in demand and funding for services to other public sector agencies and third parties.
Expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 of:
- $600,000 reflecting an interruption in work programmes, caused by diverting resources to Operation Concord food protection response,
- $450,000 to address Whey Protein Concentrate inquiry recommendations to provide improved capacity for engagement with China and other new markets,
- $120,000 reflecting an interruption in work programmes, caused by diverting resources to Queensland Fruit Fly incursion response, and
- $97,000 reflecting the delays in the procurement process for all-of-government ICT initiatives for an Electronic Content Management System (ECMS) and Telecommunication as a Service (TaaS).
The increase is partly offset by:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $831,000 departmental output expenses and revenue Crown to align baseline with operational budgets and reflect updated overhead allocation,
- a transfer of $480,000 of efficiency savings realised in 2015/16 to 2016/17 to allow the Ministry to meet baseline cost pressures,
- an expense transfer from 2015/16 to 2016/17 of $300,000 reflecting a delay in commencing the free trade agreement implementation and cooperation programme due to trading partner's availability, and
- a baseline contribution of $52,000 for the share of costs for Budget 2015 whole-of-government initiatives.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $2.651 million to $20.852 million in 2015/16 due to:
- an increase in appropriation of $1.680 million made by Cabinet in response to a severe weather event in June 2015 affecting Manawatu-Wanganui, Taranaki and Westland, and
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $32,000 from an increase in demand and funding for services to other public sector agencies and third parties.
In addition, an increase in appropriation due to expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 of:
- $1.500 million due to delays in grant milestone payments outside of MPI control and,
- $6,000 reflecting the delays in the procurement process for all-of-government ICT initiatives for an Electronic Content Management System (ECMS) and Telecommunication as a Service (TaaS),
The increase was partly offset by:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $430,000 between departmental output expenses and revenue Crown to align baseline with operational budgets and reflect updated overhead allocation,
- a transfer of $122,000 of efficiency savings realised in 2015/16 to 2016/17 to allow the Ministry to meet baseline cost pressures, and
- a baseline contribution of $15,000 for the share of costs for Budget 2015 whole-of-government initiatives.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $2.961 million to $61.494 million in 2015/16 due to:
- fiscally neutral adjustments of $3.429 million between departmental output expenses and revenue Crown to align baseline with operational budgets and reflect updated overhead allocation
- a transfer of $1.151 million of efficiency savings realised in 2015/16 to 2016/17 to allow the Ministry to meet baseline cost pressures
- a baseline contribution of $134,000 for the share of costs for Budget 2015 whole-of-government initiatives, and
- an expense transfer of $100,000 from 2015/16 to 2016/17 in Aquaculture to allow sufficient planning between regional councils and stakeholders to occur.
The decrease is partly offset by:
- a fiscally neutral adjustment of $856,000 from an increase in demand and funding for services to other public sector agencies and third parties.
Expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 of:
- $750,000 reflecting an interruption in work programmes, caused by diverting resources to the Queensland Fruit Fly incursion response
- $150,000 to address Whey Protein Concentrate inquiry recommendations to provide improved capacity for engagement with China and other new markets
- $62,000 reflecting the delays in the procurement process for all-of-government ICT initiatives for an Electronic Content Management System (ECMS) and Telecommunication as a Service (TaaS), and
