The Government's hoping to clear up backlogs of approvals for animal and plant health products as it commits to speeding up processes. 

It's accepted all 16 Ministry of Regulation recommendations for cutting red tape in agriculture and horticulture.  

That follows last year's review, looking into processes for new veterinary medicines and agri-chemicals. 

Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard told Mike Hosking he knew of the concerns around delays before taking his current role. 

He admits seeing the processes and wait-times first-hand was an eye-opener.
