How are the New Zealand Pork’s activities funded?
Under the provisions of the Pork Industry Board Act, the Board is funded by producers through a levy paid on all pigs at the time of slaughter. The level this is set at is debated by farmers each year at their Regional Conferences and a recommendation is put to the Board of Directors in order to establish an Annual Budget.
New Zealand Pork annually consults with members of the pork industry value chain and develops a strategic plan which is approved by producers at the Annual General Meeting.
What is the structure of New Zealand Pork?
The Pork Industry Board is governed by five directors, four of whom are elected by New Zealand pig farmers and one is appointed by the Minister of Agriculture on the Board's recommendation.
Management of the Board's activities is controlled by the Chief Executive Officer, supported by staff and contracted expertise operating in the areas of marketing, research, development, extension, policy and finance.
