The Green Party considers that buying locally helps keep New Zealanders in jobs and supports our economy. We consider that New Zealanders have the right to know where products they buy come from.
We support the mandatory country of origin labelling of fresh and single ingredient foods, so that consumers can work out where their food comes from and choose locally produced food.
This is good for our economy, the people that grow and produce our foodstuffs and importantly, keeps New Zealanders in jobs
