AgriFoods
FOOD, HORTICULTURE AND NUTRACEUTICALS MANUFACTURING AND INNOVATION PARK

The ‘AgriFoods’ concept is based around an export and sustainably focused food processing, horticulture and nutraceuticals manufacturing park and includes the development of an innovation centre delivering tertiary and research and development capability.  The park will provide an attractive option for national and international businesses to house operations.  It will also meet the needs of a number of rapidly expanding food manufacturers considering relocating out of the region because of high land-costs and contamination risks associated with proximity to non-food businesses. 

Approval has been gained to develop 20ha at Te Puke followed by 52ha (Stage 2) once the Tauranga Eastern Arterial has been completed.  A regional food and beverage strategy has been developed to build business capability in the food sector and develop new added-value products.  Economic development in the region, and in Te Puke in particular, will be significantly enhanced by the progression of a development of this type.
