“I’m here to talk about my belief that the New Zealand primary industry is underselling its potential,” Elliot said. “The industry that I’m standing in front of today, we all believe that there is greater value to be realised from what we already produce.”

Natural Heath Products NZ held its annual summit in Blenheim this week. Elliot said New Zealand needed to convert what it was already producing into a “much higher value format” and market to consumers who were focused on health and nutrition. He said that in order to get more value from existing production, the country needed to find a way to stand out in the increasingly competitive global market.
