Red Meat Coalition
Introduction
Co-led by the Federation, Poutama Trust, Te Tumu Paeora, and
following on from the inaugural Māori Global Agribusiness
Forum held in 2012, one of the work-streams was a Red Meat
Action Group.
The Red Meat Action group was set up to moving Māori
entities forward in their respective industries, through
partnership and collaboration.
Through a collaborative business planning session a
commercial collaboration was formed between Te Tumu
Paeroa, the Federation, Taumata Group, TAPS, Atihau
Whanganui Inc, Poutama Trust and Aohanga Inc (the Māori
Red Meat Coalition).
Purpose
Purpose of the Coalition is to advance the concept of
Māori collaboration in the red meat sector.
The focus is for better sustainable returns for owners.
Those returns are ideally attributed back to the land

• Kaitiakitanga – nurturing our place, our people and our future

Scope
Consider how best to consider a “One Farm” approach;
• a stock- take of what exists, what can be included in the “One Farm”
and how it might more efficiently operate for the betterment of all.
• Assess what is done really well by parties and share that excellence
amongst the participants.
Consider the best way to progress Value Chain engagement.
• Investigate and recommend to shareholders how Māori may take
better advantage of (participate further down) the value chain.
• The two core issues here are participation and control.
