Govt and Industry Ink Deal to Tackle Potential Foot-and-Mouth Crisis
- On 11 June 2025, the New Zealand Government and six livestock industry groups formalized an agreement to collaboratively prepare for and manage the possibility of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
- The agreement follows recent foot and mouth outbreaks in Germany and Hungary in January and builds on years of work to protect New Zealand's livestock sector from this highly contagious disease.
- Starting 1 July 2025, under a five-year agreement, the industry will fund 40% of preparedness expenses and 15% of outbreak response costs, with a maximum payment limit of $450 million, and will gain an official role in decision-making processes.
- Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard warned that failing to act could lead to a reduction in export revenue by as much as $14.3 billion annually, while highlighting that the agreement marks an important and practical advancement for the country's biosecurity system.
- The agreement formalizes cost-sharing and collaboration, implying stronger readiness that aims to protect New Zealand’s export markets and animal health from the severe impacts of an outbreak.
