Peter Bryant, head of sales and marketing at A-One Feed Supplements, has become the first candidate to throw his hat into the ring for the forthcoming NPA election.
“Being elected onto the Pig Industry Group would be an honour and a privilege,” Peter said in his election manifesto, which you can view HERE.
“I would bring extensive knowledge and understanding of the pig industry to the NPA and its members, as well as ensuring that the NPA/AIG remains influential and effective for the pig industry following such difficult times.”
The NPA is seeking candidates for eight producer and four allied member seats on a streamlined PIG. Producers will be elected on the basis of the most votes received, rather than on a regional basis.
Allied members will be elected via most votes in four categories – buildings/equipment, health, marketing/processing and nutrition.
“The PIG is a brilliant mix of producers and the allied industry, and to make sure we move the industry forward, we need the best people to put their heads above the parapet for election,” NPA chair Rob Mutimer said.
“Elections for the PIG are just round the corner. If you want to be in the thick of policy making for the industry – now’s your chance. We need the best to keep the NPA the best!” NPA vice-chair Hugh Crabtree added.
