This is the first Statement of Intent (SOI) for the new Ministry for Primary Industries. The SOI is one way through which we articulate and help the organisation to set its direction over the year ahead. It is a legal and public articulation of what we are going to be focusing on to help the primary industries to be successful.
Statement of Intent 2013-2018
The Statement of Intent (SOI) is a key element of the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) public accountability narrative. At a high level it signals the benefit that MPI is seeking to achieve for the primary sector and for all New Zealanders. The SOI sets out key challenges and opportunities associated with MPI’s Export Double goal and details how these factors will shape MPI’s work programmes and capability development over the next five years.
The Statement of Intent (SOI) sets out what the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will do over the next five years to achieve its vision of Growing and Protecting New Zealand. SOI takes into account New Zealand’s dynamic trading environment and the Government’s goals of building a more productive and competitive economy, as well as delivering better public services.
Under normal circumstances, MPI would have released a new edition of the situation and outlook for primary industries (SOPI) report in June 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic means the situation changes on an almost daily basis. The outlook for our sectors is more uncertain than ever before so we decided to delay the release of our usual forecasting document. Instead, MPI has prepared a report on how COVID-19 has disrupted New Zealand's primary industry exports. This shows that, in general, primary sector exports are holding up well. This is primarily due to the New Zealand dollar weakening against the United States dollar.
