00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: Your ruerboard on the Evin du Per se Eland Drive

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: with n's Kofoods, New Zealand's Finest Beef and Lamb.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Now to talk rural, we've got Jamie McKay, host of

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: the Country and from the Country dot Co dot NZ.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Hello Jamie good Andrew.

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: Hey, look, I'm wondering whether maybe someone should Dr Rod Carr,

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: the Climate Change Commissioner or the chairman and tell him

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: not to venture into rural New Zealand because he's ruffled

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: a few feathers today.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: All right, so this is so you actually broke out,

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: broke down a little bit there. So this is kind

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: of Change Commission Chair Dr Rod Carr, who says it

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: is not true to say pharmacy to wait for new

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: technology before they can lower their planet heating commissions. They

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: can do it now.

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Here. Well, it's interesting, he said. The idea that and

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: I hope you can hear me Andrew apologize for the reception.

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: He said, the idea that farmers have no tools and

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: must wait for new things before they can reduce emissions

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 3: is simply not true. We know different feeding practices are

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: associated with different missions. We know different breeds and breed

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: with breeds within breeds are associated with different emissions. Now,

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: this got a strong rebuke from Mark Cameron, who's one

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 3: of the act agricultural spokespeople. He's also a Northland Kalkaki.

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: He said, well, mister Carr, it's about time you visited

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: rural New Zealand before making in accurate statements about on

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: farm practice. Has a thought for URRT, He writes, the

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: Climate Change Commissioner should tell rural people what bovine breeds

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: and what breeds within breeds. He's specifically talking about that

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: he states had such different emissions profiles New Rural and

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: New Zealand is waiting with baited breath for the answer

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: to that one.

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: So look he's going out all guns blazing, doctor Rhard.

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 3: He's never been afraid to speak out. It'll be fair

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: to say he's probably not the post popular man in

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: the rural New Zealand.

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: Good seth, Look this is starting to worry me. Development

39
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: of large scale dairy farms and forming feed prices are

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: driving China's raw milk action app and the official price down.

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: They're getting good at this stuff.

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are getting really good at it. And I've

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: been trading for a lot longer than us and it's

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: a bit of a worry if they start moving some

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: of their production Andrew onto the world stage. Interestingly, that

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: the current price they're being paid in China at the

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: moment in New Zealand dollar equivalents about nine dollars per

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: kilogram of milk solid, so it's still above ours. But

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: their cost of production is quite a bit higher than ours,

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: obviously because it's all it's mainly bought in feed, whereas

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: our dairy system is pasture based. So China's raw milk

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 3: production's gone up one percent in May year on year,

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: two point three percent growth in April, and we're looking

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: at possibly because we're not sure of these numbers coming

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: out of China eight point six percent per annum twenty

56
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: twenty two are two point nine twenty twenty three, So

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: their self sufficiency, this is the key number, Andrew and

58
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: Darry has grown from seventy percent to eighty five percent

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: in the past four years. You know, with these low

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: farm gate prices, China will quickly become a major exporter

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: of darying around the world and that could cause us

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: some issues, perhaps not even to mention the market that

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: where that is being flooded with some of their products.

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: And this also remind them that nearly will mind ourselves.

65
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: At sixty percent of the New Zealand and formulam exports

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: go to China, but if they start being self sufficient,

67
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: then we lose money here.

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: And a final thought on that one, Andrew, just following

69
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: on from your excellent number, is that we do have

70
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: an FTA with China and that helps us because the

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: other big players in the infant formula market are getting

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: hit harder than us, the likes of the Netherland. So

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: thank goodness for that FTA with China.

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: Good So if Jamie go the Rowers and I thank
