Furious Tasmanian farmers have warned that the state's potato industry faces ruin if New Zealand imports are allowed.
The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association (TFGA) says the industry on the island state could be wiped out by the tomato-potato psyllid that causes "zebra chip"and occurs in NZ crops.
"At stake is a Tasmanian industry worth $110 million to 300 growers,"TFGA chief executive Jan Davis said.
