Federated Farmers is backing a new partnership between New Zealand and Sri Lanka that aims to improve its dairy productivity.
Prime Minister John Key and his Sri Lankan counterpart, Ranil Wickremesinghe, announced yesterday New Zealand would assist in improving Sri Lankan dairy productivity.
It includes helping Sri Lanka introduce New Zealand farming technology. Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said the system captures and analyses data so farmers can better link on-farm practices to farm outputs and revenue.
Federated Farmers vice president Anders Crofoot says increasing trade links may help stabilise the Sri Lanka.
