GENERIC LETTER Your name and title Organisation’s name Contact Details Re: Organic Consultation Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your consultation on whether New Zealand would benefit from an organic regulation. I/we/ name of organisation/ fully support MPI’s preferred options which will lead to the development of an Organic Act and supporting regulations. This will include defining a mandatory, national standard that includes domestic, import and exports. In doing so, this would align New Zealand with international best practice for protecting organic products, provide all customers and consumers with assurance and place us in the best position for international trade negotiations. Once New Zealand has appropriate organic legislation, it would have a positive impact for all of New Zealand by: protecting the term and use of organic providing security for those seeking to invest assisting with the provision of other environmental claims aligning New Zealand’s strategic direction as a country that provides value to quality products. With a well-designed regime, all those who wish to become organically certified can do so, regardless of scale. Please keep me informed of development of this important work.
