Mō te Manatū Ahu Matua - About MPI

Our biosecurity system is based on how we manage risks offshore, at the border and within New Zealand. New Zealand's environment, our economy and trade and our way of life are underpinned by a strong biosecurity system.
Our biosecurity is a national asset. It is more important to New Zealand than most other countries because we are an isolated island nation that is free of many pests and diseases, we have unique biodiversity that is threatened by invasive species, our culture reflects our unique environment and much of our wealth relies on trade and the primary sector.
We're passionate about growing prosperity in the sector while ensuring respect for Kaitiaki - guardianship of our natural resources.
