1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Departmental Output Expenses
The decrease in departmental output expenses over 2020/21 to 2023/24 is primarily due to funding for the biosecurity response to Mycoplasma bovis being time limited.
Non-Departmental Other Expenses
Non-departmental other expenses decrease in 2020/21, and significant reductions occur in outyears. This is due to a decrease in compensation and ex-gratia payments appropriated during 2017/18, 2018/19, and 2019/20 specifically costs associated with Mycoplasma bovis.
Departmental Capital Expenditure
Departmental capital expenditure decreases for 2020/21 are mainly due to higher expenditure in 2019/20 for property and leasehold improvement costs.
Non-Departmental Capital Expenditure
Crown Irrigation Investments Limited has reduced expenditure as a result of the Cabinet decisions on irrigation investment proposals.

Memorandum accounts record the accumulated balance of surpluses and deficits incurred for outputs provided to third party users of those services on a full cost recovery basis.
The Border Biosecurity Clearance Fees memorandum account covers:
- levies imposed on all importations of goods for which a document is lodged with the New Zealand Customs Service under regulations 26(2) of the Customs and Excise Regulations 1996, and
- all other fees collected under the Biosecurity Costs Regulations 2010 including inspection of risk goods, offshore inspection of ships, and approval and audit of transitional containment facilities and facility operators.
The Phytosanitary Exports memorandum account covers fees for certification of plant and forestry exports.
The Border Biosecurity Traveller Clearance memorandum account covers fees and costs associated with the biosecurity clearance costs of travellers coming into New Zealand. The charging model is periodically reviewed to ensure that the services are being provided in the most efficient cost-effective way and that the fees/levies reflect the cost of services provided.
The Ministry for Primary Industries has a strategy of maintaining each memorandum account in a balanced state over the long term, however COVID-19 is forecast to impact these accounts. The impact of COVID-19 has been modelled on revenue and expenditure in the 2019/20 year. As a result of these projections Cabinet agreed to a capital injection of $60 million to the Ministry of Primary Industries in 2019/20 to allow the Ministry to meet its 2019/20 cash-flow requirements.
The impact on revenue has been modelled for the 2020/21 year taking into account recent Cabinet decisions to provide a cash injection to the Ministry for Primary Industries in 2019/20. Because of the high level of uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on revenue and expenditure at the time of publication it is not possible to model numbers with certainty. Therefore the numbers presented may vary materially from what the Ministry has included in the Border Biosecurity memorandum accounts for Clearance Fees and Traveller Clearance Levies and the Ministry may require a further cash injection.

Memorandum accounts record the accumulated balance of surpluses and deficits incurred for outputs provided to third party users of those services on a full cost recovery basis.
The Approvals, Accreditations and Registrations memorandum account covers the provision of approval and registration services to regulated parties under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997 and the Animal Products Act 1999.
The Standards Setting for the Food Industry memorandum account covers standards setting activities and fees for certification and reconciliation services under the Animal Products (Dairy Industry Fees and Charges) Regulations 2007. This memorandum account also covers certification activities undertaken by the Ministry for Primary Industries in accordance with section 7 of the Animal Products (Fees, Charges and Levies) Regulations 2007.
The Verification of the Food Regulatory Programme memorandum account covers verification activities undertaken by the Ministry for Primary Industries in accordance with section 7 of the Animal Products (Fees, Charges and Levies) Regulations 2007.
The Wine Standards Management - Wine Act 2003 memorandum account covers certification, assurance, standard setting, market access, systems implementation and monitoring services provided under the Wine Act 2003.
The Ministry for Primary Industries has a strategy of maintaining each memorandum account in a balanced state over the long term. It allows for changes in volumes resulting from fluctuations in economic activity and other matters. The charging model is periodically reviewed to ensure that the services are being provided in the most efficient cost-effective way and that the fees/levies reflect the cost of services provided.
The Ministry for Primary Industries expects there will be some deterioration of third party revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However the impacts on revenue and expenditure have not been modelled for these memorandum accounts because of the high level of uncertainty as to the impact of COVID-19 at the time of publication.
