The Importance of Crop Protection Products for The New Zealand Economy
Nixon, Chris; Morel, Laetitia Leroy de | July 2019
Abstract
This report highlights the importance of the crop protection industry to New Zealand’s economy. It’s a small robust industry that has a significant impact on our land-based sectors. Even a small increase in horticultural productivity has a ripple effect in boosting the economy. Without crop protection products, it is estimated that New Zealand’s economy would lose between $7.5 to $11.4 billion.
Not only does the crop protection industry have an important part to play in supporting the economy, it is also vital for producing safe food and protecting our environment. From managing damaging pests and diseases, through to research and disposal, the industry is committed to the responsible use of crop protection products right throughout the product life-cycle.
