A successful primary sector is a key part of our plan to create jobs, raise incomes, and build a more competitive and productive economy.
Our goal is to double the value of our primary sector exports by 2025, from $32 billion to $64 billion.
National is investing in high-quality infrastructure, with $120 million towards irrigation so far, $212 million towards regional roads and $300 million to enhance rural broadband. We want to support rural families and give rural businesses the tools to succeed. We won’t be aimlessly rushing animal emissions into the ETS and we have reduced ACC levies for rural businesses.
We are also supporting innovation and jobs in the primary sector by boosting research and development through the Primary Growth Partnership.
