The government is considering a move to scrap regulation on food exporters.\xa0
They\u2019ve opened consultation on a proposal to allow exporters to manage the process for meeting food standards for the country the food's being sent to, rather than having to meet New Zealand's requirements.\xa0
Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard told Mike Hosking that the dairy industry has long been calling for the change.\xa0
He says New Zealand red tape has seen exporters missing out on market opportunities and this is a quick fix.\xa0
