Federated Farmers Fieldays Online opened back wool report

Federated Farmers agrees that harnessing outside expertise by our PM and a Prince and being market driven are keys to developing a sound strategic roadmap for reviving New Zealand’s strong wool sector. In its vision and action report released last week, the Wool Industry Project Action Group says it believes we are on the cusp of a natural fibre renaissance being led by more environ- mentally and socially conscious consumers. A new approach is needed to seize this opportunity and turn things around for the sector. “We agree with that assessment,” says Federated Farmers Meat & Wool chairperson William Beetham. “Making sure the process is customer-focused and open about what needs to change will be critical. “The recommendation for creation of an Executive Officer role to drive action is sensible. “The most important part of this role would be sector connection and coordination, bringing farmers closer to those who sell the end product. “This will add significant value to wool through shortening the value chain and creating transparency through the supply chain.” Achieving the right governance will be the prime factor if the sector is to avoid a repeat of earlier failed attempts to turn around the fortunes of strong wool. “The Governance oversight recommended in the plan, in my opinion, should be professional and selected based on their skills and insights, with the ability to deliver strong governance Prime Minister of New Zealand Rt Hon The Prince of and Duchess of Cornwall being greeted at Waitangi during systems.
