For more information, visit their website: www.gapfa.org . The future of NZPFMA looks to be full of life, Mr. Brakes shares. “The New Zealand pet food industry is really booming right now. The level of growth in our members and the positive engagement we have received of late is just staggering, and very well deserved. Our industry works hard to provide quality care for pets and pet lovers across the country, so to see that recognition is wonderful.” Mr. Brakes also shares that export growth has been on a steep incline which, while positive for New Zealand’s position in global trade markets, has placed strain on industry producers. “In order to meet demands, our industry need to improve infrastructure and capacity. But we need to be sure that we don’t do that at the cost of quality, regulation, or our environment. All in all, the future looks great for us, and I’m looking forward to seeing how things unfold alongside our members in the coming years.” NZPFMA is excited to continue fulfilling their role in the New Zealand pet food industry going forward, and thanks their members for their ongoing collaboration and support.
