NZ Farm Assurance Programme

The sheep, beef, and deer farms are audited and certified under the NZ Farm Assurance Programme. The certification allows the exporters to maximize the product eligibility for various customers and also helps meet the requirements of domestic regulatory compliance.

Customers are interested in the origin and traceability of the food they purchase, and they have faith that the methods used in its production fit their standards. Products that are both safe to eat and produced ethically are becoming more and more in demand. Buyers are responding to this customer demand by requiring that their suppliers achieve certain production requirements.

The NZ Farm Assurance Programme was established to reassure customers that farms in New Zealand must meet a minimum quality standard.

Fair trade with independent farm owners

Agriculture in New Zealand is a free and open market. The independent farmer is in charge of selecting his customers and is able to switch at any time. In reality, the producers of meat are fighting for each farmer's supply, giving the farmer the upper hand.
