Organic food trade expected to grow

Organic food producers can expect a boost in exports with the signing of a certification agreement between New Zealand and China, New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries said on Thursday. The agreement was seen supporting the growth of the organics industry in New Zealand and providing greater assurance for consumers, ministry director of plants food and environment Peter Thomson said in a statement. "New Zealand consumers can have increased confidence in organic food imported from China because (the ministry) has assessed the Chinese system and found it to be robust," Thomson added.
