Animal and Plant Health NZ's annual survey finds nearly half its members feel regulatory performance has worsened, despite recommendations put forward by the Ministry for Regulation earlier this year. 

Chief executive Liz Shackleton told Mike Hosking despite reassurance from regulators, the day-to-day process is not getting easier. 

She says farmers and growers face a raft of challenges and don't have the right tools for the job. 

She says it's a real handbrake on economic growth, and we're missing out on better environmental outcomes.
