01. New Zealand Auditing System
Just like the Korea Food and Drug Administration, the New Zealand Auditing System consists of MED SAFE NEW ZEALAND and NEW ZEALAND FOOD SAFTEY AUTHORITY. New Zealand health product producers have to maintain a FOOD AND THERAPEUTIC license that relates to the regular inspections done by the two systems. Such thorough inner inspection systems for health products as quality examinations and GMP education programs allow for the continuation of pure products and processes.
*GMP ? A production and testing practice that the manufacturer must consider in order to produce a quality product. In the United States and Europe, the separate categories of safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity are ensured so that the best product is guaranteed.
02. New Zealand Health Products
What about New Zealand?
New Zealand is an island that is approximately 2000km away from the southwest of Australia and at 268,680㎢ around 1.2 times larger than the Korean Peninsula. It consists of two large islands and a myriad of smaller ones where the two large islands are divided by the Cook Strait and are called the North Island and the South Island. The North Island holds 75% of the entire population as well as the capital Wellington and the largest city Auckland, whilst the South Island is centered around the Southern Alps creating a glacial terrain that is unharmed by contamination and instead manifests a pure and beautiful area.
03. The New Zealand Industry
The New Zealand industry, which focuses on the environment, has continued its progress by prioritizing the people and nature. Due to this, it has been considered as a major competitor amongst the largest economies of the world but the pasturage and dairy industries are regarded worldwide as meeting the best standard.
54% of the entire New Zealand land are open pastures, serving as homes to more than 6,000,000 sheep and 700,000 cows, thus becoming the “World’s Greatest Meadow” The success of the agricultural industry of New Zealand accounts to the nation’s distant location from the main continent, which correlates to a lower rate of disease and a higher possibility in developing a purer system than that of the rest of the world.
04. New Zealand Environmental Protection
Albeit New Zealand indulges in its gift of nature, the nation asserts just as much effort in preventing the destruction of this pure terrain, making it one of the leading nations in environmental protection.
There are 14 national parks and more than 25 oceanic safeguard areas spread across the land, and much stress is put into educating the public in the protection of these areas. Along with the governmental enforcement of strict protection measures, the New Zealanders themselves endlessly recycle materials, avoid the use of Freon gas, and use eco-friendly gas to preserve the pristine nature.
Even though the nation possesses ample coal reserves, it evades the growth of greenhouse gases with 90% of the country using hydroelectric and geothermal power. As a result of such tireless effort, New Zealand has become a heaven on earth with an increasing influx of tourists each year.
