Trust Tairāwhiti first commissioned Infometrics to assess the size of the region’s tradeable sector in 2024, to help contextualise the significance of the tradeable sector in the region and help to inform discussions amongst regional stakeholders. This report is an update to our 2024 report, incorporating data for the year to March 2024 (the previous report focused on the year to March 2023).
The term “tradeable” is defined as the portion of products produced in Tairāwhiti that are sold to parties outside the region – not only exports to overseas, but also ‘exports’ to other regions of New Zealand.
