Miraka whanau proud of achievements
The chair of Miraka says it’s been an exciting ride for the Tuwharetoa and Kahungunu whanau involved in the central North Island milk processing venture, but they’re proud of their achievements so far.
Miraka last night won the inaugural Maori Excellence in Export award He kai kei aku ringa ahead of Sealord and Nelson-based food and beverage company Kono.
Kingi Smiler says the company, which exports UHT milk products and milk powder to 23 countries throughout Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific and Latin America, has made great progress for a start-up.
Kingi Smiler says the fact Miraka uses geothermal sources to power its plant and its incorporation of Maori values in the business all helps with the story it can tell customers.
