OPINION: Of all the submissions that Rural News has seen from the primary sector on the Government’s response to agricultural emissions proposal, none is so profound and damaging to Labour than that of the Māori Trustee and chief executive of Te Tumu Paeroa, Charlotte Severne.
The Māori Trustee says the Government response to the HWEN proposal on dealing with agricultural gasses will disproportionally disadvantage Māori landowners and doesn’t provide a solution for this inequity.
$30 MILLION will be invested in building 10 kiwifruit orchards on Maori land in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne over the next 18 months, says entrepreneur Te Tumu Pairoa, in partnership with Quayside Holdings.
Bay of Plenty Regional Council's investment company Quayside Holdings, and Te Tumu Paeroa, the office of the Maori Trustee, are set to each take a 10.1% equity stake in Opotiki Packing and Coolstorage Ltd.
