Introduction

New Zealand red meat is globally renowned for its quality and safety. That’s because it’s produced to some of the world’s highest standards not only for food safety and quality but animal welfare, an area in which New Zealand is a leader. 

As a red meat processing and exporting nation, we must also adhere to regulations to meet market access requirements. 

At MIA, we assist our members on all fronts in meeting domestic and international requirements, whilst working closely with government on behalf of our farmers and processors to ensure the best outcomes all round.


FOCUS AREA:

Animal welfare

New Zealand proudly upholds some of the world’s highest animal welfare standards. Farmers and meat processors work hard to ensure their animals are well cared for and treated humanely. The sector collaborates closely with MPI and other stakeholders to improve animal welfare outcomes across the board.
