RTF was established as a national body in 1997 to responsibly promote and advance the interests of the road transport industry and its member as- sociations. Don said in the post-Covid world the Government needs to appreciate the importance of the Road Transport sector and the significance it plays in the New Zealand economy. Don points to the need for good roading infra- structure to enable the transport companies to stock the supermarket shelves and deliver produce to the markets and wharves in a timely fashion. “We proved it going though Covid and the Can- terbury earthquakes; road transport is vital to this country’s economy. I’ve said it several times over the last two months, the primary industry is what will bring New Zealand out of the recession we’re now heading into. The current Government needs to recognise the importance of the transport sector and the need to ensure the infrastructure to support road transport of those primary products is of a high importance and built to a high quality.” With our cost effective agricultural lime it will help you balance the books as well as the soil.
