Time to read fine print of manuka research project specs
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 3 November 2011 ) The puller-togetherer of the Manuka Research Partnership Ltd is reading the fine print of the Primary Growth Partnership contract with MAF.
Neil Walker has no inside knowledge on whether the consortium’s biggest player, Comvita, will or won’t get taken over overseas company Cerebos (in turn majority owned by Japan’s Suntory). See here for some other NZ Inc stick thinking on the subject.
But, Walker, a former senior research manager at Fonterra, current Taranaki dairy farmer and regional councillor (among many hats), would like to see a longterm approach to the development of the manuka honey and other products market in and by New Zealand.
