35676 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: What independent evidence, if any, demonstrates that each systems approach relied on in the IHS for Fresh Blueberries for Human Consumption consistently achieves the level of risk reduction MPI has assumed, and has MPI assessed system failure rates and the resulting cost to New Zealand?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: Any proposed systems approaches will be considered by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), in line with international standards and MPI’s expectations for pest risk management.
