Budget 2026为农业和林业领域投入47.7亿纽元基础资金,并额外重点投资野生松树治理、农业减排科技、产业增长基金及流域环境管理,目标是在提升出口和生产力的同时,加强农业长期竞争力和环境韧性
新西兰农业与林业部长 Todd McClay 公布的Budget 2026农业预算方案,重点是通过投资农业科技、环境管理和生产力提升,进一步推动新西兰食品与纤维(Food & Fibre)产业的发展。
核心内容
政府确认未来四年将向新西兰初级产业部(MPI)提供:
47.7亿纽元($4.77 billion)基础预算资金
用于:
- 支持农业和园艺产业发展
- 提高生产力
- 加强生物安全和前线监管
- 改善土地管理
- 提升农村社区韧性
四大重点投资
1. 防治野生松树扩散
投资:
1.09亿纽元(3年)
用于控制:
Wilding Pines
这些外来松树在南岛部分地区大量扩散,占用牧场和原生生态系统,被认为是新西兰最严重的入侵植物之一。
2. 农业减排科技
投资:
4.37亿纽元(4年)
用于加快开发和推广:
- 甲烷减排技术
- 饲料添加剂
- 低排放牧场管理技术
- 新型农业科技
目标是在不减少牲畜数量的情况下实现农业减排。
这也是政府对农业温室气体问题的重要回应。
3. 初级产业增长基金
投资:
2.66亿纽元(4年)
用于:
Primary Sector Growth Fund
支持:
- 农业创新项目
- 农产品加工升级
- 出口市场拓展
- 生产效率提升
目标是提高农民和种植者的收益。
4. 支持流域管理组织
投资:
4,050万纽元(4年)
用于支持:
农民主导的流域组织(Catchment Groups)。
这些组织主要推动:
- 水质改善
- 土壤保护
- 减少农业径流
- 环境治理合作
政府希望通过农民自主参与,而非单纯依靠监管来改善环境表现。
农业的重要性
McClay强调:
- 食品与纤维产业是新西兰最大的出口产业。
- 2026年出口预计首次超过:
620亿纽元
- 约每7名新西兰就业人口中,就有1人从事食品与纤维产业相关工作。
因此政府将其视为:
- 经济增长引擎
- 地区就业支柱
- 外汇收入来源
政府还强调的配套措施
新闻稿同时提到国家党领导的联合政府近年已采取多项措施支持农业,包括:
减少监管负担
削减农业合规成本(Red Tape)。
开拓出口市场
重点提到:
New Zealand–India Free Trade Agreement
政府认为印度市场未来将为乳制品、肉类和园艺产品带来巨大机会。
农村韧性计划
支持:
- 农民心理健康
- 农村社区建设
- 自然灾害应对能力
环境合作项目
与产业共同推动:
- 水质改善
- 土地保护
- 减排计划
政治意义
这份预算反映出当前联合政府的农业政策方向:
“增长优先(Growth First)”
与前几届政府更强调监管和环境限制不同,现政府希望通过:
- 科技创新
- 市场扩张
- 提升效率
来实现:
农业增产 + 环境改善并行
而不是通过减少生产来达到环境目标。
Budget 2026 is backing the primary sector to boost returns and productivity, improve land management and resilience, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Todd McClay says.
“We are working hard alongside farmers and growers to achieve more with less,” Mr McClay says.
“Strategic and targeted commitment of taxpayers’ money ensures the food and fibre sector has the backing it needs to generate the high-quality produce that feeds New Zealand and the world, supports communities and drives economic growth.
“Budget 2026 confirms $4.77 billion in baseline funding over the next four years year for the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to support the primary sector and protect the frontline.”
Budget 2026’s key strategic investments include:
$109 million over three years to supercharge efforts to tackle the spread of damaging wilding pines
$437 million over four years to accelerate the development, availability, and use of new tools and technologies to reduce on-farm agricultural emissions
$266 million over four years for the Primary Sector Growth Fund to invest in projects focused on increasing returns, productivity, and opportunities in the food and fibre sector
$40.5 million over four years to back the efforts of farmer-led catchment groups to improve land management practices
“Budget 2026 backs sustainable growth of the food and fibre sector, our largest export earner,” Mr McClay says.
“Its exports are set to top a record $62 billion this year. One in every seven people work in food and fibre – a successful sector means thriving communities, a growing economy and a prosperous New Zealand.
“Alongside investing in innovative technologies and land management initiatives, we’re supporting farmers and growers to boost productivity and their long-term resilience.”
Like farmers and growers, the Government’s agriculture team of Ministers McClay, Andrew Hoggard, Mark Patterson and Mike Butterick is committed to using the resources we have efficiently to support the sector – to fix the basics and build the future.
Note to editor:
Budget 2026 builds on the National-led Government’s work completing and progressing a suite of positive actions supporting the sector, including: cutting red tape and costs through regulatory reform; unlocking new market opportunities for the sector such as through the New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement; boosting rural resilience and wellbeing initiatives and partnering with industry to improve environmental outcomes.
