The people who own the Cooperative

"Rural title land owners & guardians"

The pilot Macadamia Seedling Pots (MSP) are now available on Herepara farm in Whanarua Bay in the eastern Bay of Plenty region of Aotearoa. A pic from the top of the hill from our neighbours macadamia orchard gives you great view of our nursery paradise setting. Our nursery will also include our permanent HoneyHut BeeVillages operations. With the arrival of Myrtle rust in NZ, bee bio-security is now of paramount importance.

GUESS WHAT?

Yes, the best Macadamia growing country in Aotearoa is the Maori owned lands of the eastern Cape, Poverty Bay region of the country where many tracts of land are frost-free creating ideal macadamia growing conditions

Negotiations are in progress for access to Maori Titled Lands for the expansion of the revenue sharing based, HoneyHuts and macadamia plantation programs on Maori Titled Lands in the eastern cape region of the North Island ("te-ika-a Maui") reported by SCION as being the best lands in the entire country to support high yielding multi-flora honey. These negotiations form part of a broad Maori based coalition steering committee formed at a recent Hui (meeting) held in the region at the east coast Marae pictured below.

EZYX SUPPORTS DIY-CRM signature projects FROM AOTEAROA (nz) IN THE SME SECTOR OF FARM & bushland BASED FOOD RESOURCES WHERE REVENUE SHARING IS THE PARTICIPATION BASIS. one WHERE PROFITS BENEFIT ALL OF AOTEAROA WHANAU. NOT FUNNELLED TO FOREIGN LANDS

Why?  because thanks to P2P driven social media capital raising, Maori are now able to bypass the  gatekeepers who do not understand farming but do make capital raising an expensive and intimidating journey, making it ever more difficult for those entrepreneurs in the food resources sector to financially support great primary sector causes that so often find it hard to secure funding. Especially in NZ where a very thin and tightly controlled financial sector make capital raising a challenging journey at a time when too much natural resource is now foreign owned.

INVESTMENT RISKS

There are risks associated with investing in the primary sector of the economy. The apiculture industry is no different with risks ranging from Colony Collapse Disorder to viruses. Honey bees and the Apiculture industry does carry an investment with risk although ever improving bio-security measures in Aotearoa/NZ do help to mitigate these risks.

THE EASTERN BAY/CAPE REGION OF AOTEAROA/ NZ - EASTERN KINGDOM OF HONEY & MACADAMIAS

Home of some of the purest Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) bushlands in NZ and finest macadamia growing region in the Moana nation.  

Research indicates that there are 92 Maori "IWI" (tribal groupings) in New Zealand Collectively these IWI control and/or own huge areas of New Zealand's native forest tracts, the home of a botanical species popularly referred to as "tea-tree" - the plant from which the highly popular Manuka honey is produced thanks to the efforts of the millions of bees that make the honey. Nowhere in NZ is access to Manuka greater than in the vast tracts of land controlled by New Zealand's original inhabitants, the Maori people. However current trends in the NZ Manuka honey industry reveal an alarming transfer of "control" passing to offshore entities. A trend that must be stopped by the Maori people by entering into sharing partnerships that see the entire production cycle vertically integrated with Maori interest in the entire production and distribution cycle ensuring direct economic benefit for all whanau of Aotearoa first and foremost.
