      abstract = {In New Zealand, the Animal Products Act (1999) required  all animal product processing businesses to have a Hazard  Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) based Risk  Management Program (RMP) by the end of 2002. The purpose of  the Act is to manage food safety risks and to facilitate  overseas market access. However the new regulation will  potentially bring costs to businesses. This paper attempts  to measure the effects of RMP requirements on the variable  cost of production of the New Zealand seafood industry.  Using the framework developed by Antle (2000), a cost  function is estimated using census of production data from  1929 to 1998. Results show that variable costs could  increase from 2 percent to 22 percent or from 2 cents to 19  cents per kilogram.},
