RIRDC, Canberra (http://www.rirdc.gov.au/reports/org/02-45.pdf). 14.2 Organic Farming in New Zealand Seager Mason 17 14.2.17 Introduction Organic agriculture in New Zealand has developed steadily over the last 20 years. The most rapid growth has been since the mid 1990s, driven by various factors such as opposition to genetic engineering and other environmental and food safety concerns. There is wide recognition in New Zealand of the important role that organics can and does play in moving agriculture and food production towards more sustainable practices, as well as recognition of the value of producing high quality certified organic products for export markets and the domestic market. Through the development of the New Zealand Organic Sector Strategy and other Government initiatives there is now political recognition of the commercial potential of organics, as well as recognition of the importance of organics in helping to underpin New Zealand’s clean green image as a producer of high quality agricultural products and as a tourist destination. 14.2.2 Statistics New Zealand has about 1000 certified organic producers. Most food and beverage products are now available as certified organic. The main types of organic primary production in New Zealand are kiwifruit, apples, blueberries, fresh and process vegetables, arable, dairy, meat, viticulture, and aquaculture. The biggest organic sectors so far are kiwifruit and apples - organic kiwifruit production represents about five percent of the total production of kiwifruit in New Zealand, and organic apple production is close to ten percent of the total production of apples in the New Zealand. The current growth sectors for organic primary production are apples, dairy, and viticulture. The number of organic apple orchards is increasing in response to the low prices being received for conventional apples at the moment. There is steady growth in the number of dairy farms converting to organics, and in the number of vineyards converting. 17 Seager Mason, Technical Director, BioGro New Zealand, PO Box 9693, Marion Square, Wellington 6031, New Zealand, Internet http://www.bio-gro.co.nz and www.organicsnewzealand.org.nz.

126 The World of Organic Agriculture 2006 Some current statistics: • Certified producers: Approx 1000 certified producers comprising approximately 820 primary producers, 120 processors and exporters, and 60 certified suppliers of inputs (fertilizers etc). • Certified land area: Approx 45 000 hectares certified land. • Exports: Approx 85 million NZD 18 worth of products exported, growing at approximately 10 percent per year. • Domestic market: Approximately 100 million NZD 19 worth of products sold on the domestic market - approx half of this produced in New Zealand, the rest is imported. Growth of about 20 percent per annum in the domestic market. • Kiwifruit: Organic production is about five percent of the kiwifruit sector. • Apples: Organic production is close to ten percent of the apple sector. • Vegetables / cropping: Organic production is about two percent of the sector. • Dairy and meat: Organic production is still less than one percent of the sector. • Certifiers (approximate numbers): BioGro 500 producers, Demeter 50 producers, Organic Farm NZ (new small scale producers scheme) 200 producers, Agriquality 250 producers. 14.2.3 Markets The Domestic Market New Zealand’s domestic market grew very rapidly over the period 2000 to 2002, by more than 100 percent per annum each year. This growth was due to a variety of factors, but in particular because of: • Rejection of genetic engineering; • The increasing range and high quality of organic products on the market; • Increasing number of outlets, particularly supermarkets, stocking organics; • Many people wanting to support organics as being the best way forward for New Zealand’s agriculture and food production. Most supermarkets now stock at least some organic products, and some supermarkets are specializing in organics due to customer demand. Organic shops are increasing in number and size, with some of the successful organic shops becoming small to medium size organic supermarkets, and there are now some chains of organic shops. The domestic market continues to grow but the growth has slowed over the last two years. Exports New Zealand’s economy is reliant on exporting, and agricultural products are New Zealand’s main exports. Exports of organic products have grown steadily over the last 15 years, and are 18 85 million New Zealand Dollars (NZD) = 58.8 million USD = 48.4 million EUR (per 31.12.2005) 19 100 million NZD = 56.9 million EUR = 69.1 million USD (per 31.12.2005)
