NZMB farmer consultation on industry-good funding

The New Zealand Meat Board is seeking farmer feedback on providing up to $1.3 million industry-good funding from reserves to support B+LNZ’s NextGen Insights and Data Platform project. The project aims to modernise core data infrastructure and systems that support B+LNZ's Sheep and Beef Farm Survey and wider insights capability for the benefit of farmers and the wider red meat sector. The total project investment is approximately $4.5 million over seven years. B+LNZ will provide the remainder of funding for capital build and operating costs. NZMB emailed the proposal to farmers on B+LNZ's electoral roll on 20 July. Supporting information, including a link to the online consultation feedback form, can be found on NZMB’s website here. Submissions close 7 August 2026.
