DAIRYNZ chief executive Tim Mackle has welcomed the portfolio allocations announced by the incoming Government, saying he looks forward to working with Damien O'Connor, Dr Megan Woods, David Parker and James Shaw on key issues facing the dairy sector.
"The incoming Government is promoting a new direction for the country at a time when our dairy sector also faces a new and exciting future," says Dr Mackle.
"The decade ahead will be transformational for the dairy sector. We have a strong mandate to concentrate on productivity - to produce more from less - and to do so sustainably.
"New Zealand dairy farmers are among the most productive in the world, so we have a good story to tell. But we know there is more work to be done."
