Press Release – Venture Taranaki
This month, Venture Taranaki is working with seven local food producers to showcase Taranaki produce at the upcoming Auckland Food Show, to parade the increasingly diverse and delicious food products Taranaki has to offer, and to share the region’s proud food story.
Taranaki has long been a significant contributor to New Zealand’s food sector, having helped position the country as a global dairy heavyweight, and driving the red meat, poultry, and plant food industries with production of value-added goods for domestic and international markets.
Taranaki is continuing on this path of success, with up-and-coming producers taking to the national stage at the Auckland Food Show as part of the Taste of Taranaki Collective. Taranaki is, once again, the only region to have a significant presence dedicated to the region’s food and flavours, providing a strong regional presence and brand at the Food Show.
