Make Your Voice Heard, Sign Up for MPI's Organic Regulation & Standards Workshops
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is hosting in-person regulation workshops and hui across the country to discuss the proposals for organic regulations and the national organic standard set out in the Organic Products Bill.
It is imperative that OANZ members and sector producers attend their regional meetings and huis so we can have our collective voices heard.
The workshops and hui will cover the same content — both discuss the proposals for organic regulations and the national organic standards. MPI are inviting members of local iwi and hapū in these locations to the hui to wānanga with them in a way that incorporates tikanga Māori.
