Plant Health Services
As a country dependant on primary industry for a significant part of our export earnings, plant health is critical to New Zealand. Our pastures, cropping, horticulture, forestry and native plants all require good health and care to be able to thrive. Healthy pastures help provide for healthy live and bloodstock. Without healthy crop plants, we cannot meet the standards required by our trading partners when exporting fruit such as apples and kiwifruit, timber, cut flowers and other plant products. The survival of our unique ecosystems is dependent on healthy plants free from the competition of competing invasive species.
New Zealand is geographically and isolated from the rest of the world. This isolation has provided us with a unique flora and fauna that is free from many of the damaging plant pests that occur elsewhere in the world. This freedom from many of these pests, in both our terrestrial and marine environments, will continue to be a factor in ensuring the success of our primary industries. With our climate, high quality soils, production efficiencies and the ability to provide quality plant products in export markets, often ‘off-season’, we have a competitive trading advantage we need to maintain.
In Gear Global has experience in industry and government, both nationally and internationally, working to build, improve, and maintain our plant protection systems.
Trade brings with it the inherent risk of importing or exporting pest species, which may establish and present unwanted challenges to production, biodiversity and society.
In Gear Global can assist you in preventing the introduction and/or spread of pest species.
