Meat & Wool New Zealand chairman Jeff Grant, and Meat Industry Association chairman Bill Falconer, have welcomed the Government’s announcement that New Zealand’s beef quota to the EU will be substantially expanded.

Minister for Trade Negotiations Jim Sutton announced that New Zealand’s current quota for beef of 300 tonnes product weight will be expanded to 1,300 tonnes. This represents an increase of more than three times New Zealand’s existing quota access. The existing 20% in-quota tariff for high quality beef will apply.
