The Government's decision to work with farmers to price their emissions by 2030 is being welcomed by the industry.

A law change will stop farming being charged through the Emissions Trading Scheme, which offsets credits against emitting. 

It was a fallback option if partnership group He Waka Eka Noa didn't find an alternative for agriculture.

Meat Industry Association advocacy manager Jason Krupp told Mike Hosking that the previous Government wasn't fully committed to finding a solution.

He says a solution was handed to them by the end of 2022, which they sat on for nine months.

The economy is expected to keep improving as the year goes on.  

Stats NZ is releasing GDP data for April-to-June later this morning. 

Economists are expecting economic growth will come in between 0.1% and 0.3% for the quarter and between 2.2% and 2.4% for the year. 

Independent Economist Cameron Bagrie told Ryan Bridge we could soon get back to the growth we were seeing last year. 

We says we took a detour in the June quarter because fuel prices got so expensive, but quarter three is suggesting a number up around 0.8% to 0.9%.
