Government Industry Agreement (GIA) 

GIA operates as a partnership between primary industry and government to manage pests and diseases that could badly damage New Zealand's primary industries, economy, and environment.

Under GIA, Signatories share the decision-making, responsibilities and costs of preparing for – and responding to – biosecurity incursions. By working in partnership, industry and government can achieve better biosecurity outcomes.

GIA celebrates its 10-year anniversary in 2024, with May 2024 marking a decade since the GIA Deed was first signed by the Ministry for Primary Industries and Kiwifruit Vine Health.
