Abstract

Farmers looked back angrily to the mid-1980s believing Government and other sectors of the economy had ‘ripped farmers off’. Federated Farmers developed a future strategy for agricultural economics and food policy, recognising New Zealand living standards depended upon increased growth led by farming exports and noting that future farming prosperity depended on sound Government economic management. A competitive, market related, economy had to be created by reducing Government spending, reducing protection of manufacturing and liberalising the labour market. The freehold family farm would continue to be farming’s cornerstone. The strategy included that it was essential that New Zealand continued to encourage international free trade, but attempts to liberalise global trade were hindered because New Zealand was a protectionist country, restricting imports from manufacturing countries.
