flag New Zealand cut methane emissions targets, boosting farm confidence and export goals.

flag New Zealand has halved its methane emissions targets under the Zero Carbon Act, a move welcomed by rural leaders as a relief for farmers. flag ACT Party officials credit the change, along with scrapping the ute tax, keeping agriculture out of the Emissions Trading Scheme, and reforming land-use rules, for restoring farmer confidence. flag They say these shifts, driven by a focus on practical policies, are boosting investment and helping primary sector exports reach $62 billion by 2026. flag With 83% of New Zealand’s exports coming from farming and forestry, officials argue that supporting agriculture strengthens the national economy. flag While some environmental groups express concern, the government maintains its commitment to climate goals while ensuring fair contributions from agriculture.
