## Resource

New Zealand’s blueberry farmers are sounding the alarm over proposed import rules that could let countries like Chile and the USA ship fruit with less stringent cleaning standards—potentially letting pests and diseases slip through, risking millions in damage and threatening the entire horticulture sector. While Biosecurity NZ insists its risk assessment meets global standards and claims it’s given industry plenty of time to respond, growers say the consultation process was disjointed and demand a serious, science-backed sit-down to fix the imbalance before any final decisions are made.
