Despite being perfectly capable of producing high-quality feed domestically, local farmers struggle against cheaper imports propped up by trade deals and lack of government backing. The debate heats up at industry conferences, where economic survival, environmental concerns over deforestation, and consumer awareness collide. A new “NZ Grown Grains” certification aims to empower buyers, while fresh research shows local feed has a smaller carbon footprint. The push is on to make supporting domestic agriculture not just patriotic or green—but smart economics for everyone in the sector.
