恒天然隔夜的决定，以进一步降低其预测奶价格必须摇晃国民政府承认其经济方向不工作，而是致力于研究和开发（R＆d）一个重大的投资，绿党今天说。

Fonterra has decided to cut its forecast Farmgate Milk Price for the 2015/16 season from $4.15 per kilogram of milk solids to just $3.90, following lower-than-expected demand from China and Russia, and higher than forecast dairy production in the European Union (EU).

“The National Government needs to recognise that its ‘one product to one market’ economic strategy has put the economy at risk, and will continue to do so if we don’t diversify our export base,” said Green Party Co-leader James Shaw.

“Recent significant policy changes to EU production quotas and US domestic subsidies mean that dairy prices may never be the same again.

“According to the OECD, New Zealand invests roughly half of what most other developed countries do in research and development, and significantly less than other, small advanced economies.

“Falling dairy prices must be a signal to massively ramp-up government investment in R&D to diversify our economy away from its dependence on one export commodity.

“农民不能只是忍着，等待全球趋势在新西兰的青睐改回来。

“The government can’t control the prices of exports, but it can control the economic direction of the country through creating incentives to innovate and diversify. Businesses, including farmers, will do the rest,” said Mr Shaw.
