In the tradition of the first generation to land on our shores, our kaupapa is to create jobs, generate whanau wealth and help rebuild economically marginalized rural communities. As a landowner Co-Op, we target harvesting 50,000 ha of manuka and kanuka within one decade to create a $1B PA sector supported by our groups nursery operations on Kohumaru Station in Northland.
The production of food from the whenua in accordance with traditional agricultural methods saw the original natives, (tangata whenua) of Aotearoa/NZ develop highly productive food cropping areas across much of the country. Agricultural prowess that impressed the colonials who flooded into the country in the early 1800's giving rise to profitable Maori owned enterprises that saw their produce distributed to the cities and even to Australia. Commercial success that was largely terminated with the early colonial's attempts to extinguish native title to land through punitive actions including massive land confiscations that economically devastated tribe after tribe across the land.
However, a few more deals were needed along the way to deliver on this colonial promise
It took a lot of korero (talking) to make it happen.
Across the country, Maori owned and directed business activity and branding is growing in leaps and bounds.
Incorporated in Colorado, USA this is the "treasury" company for the group that all "Whanau on the Whenua" (Grower-Producer) Shareholders have shares in.
