Manukau City Council places a great deal of importance on fostering good trade relationships, in particular with our Pacific neighbours and other parts of New Zealand.
The aim is to create greater engagement between businesses, particularly in the area of trade and investment which ultimately will create jobs and wealth.
Manukau’s historical, political, economic and community links with the Pacific are both important and very valuable. Auckland has the world’s largest Pacific community, with the majority calling Manukau their home. These means there are strong connections between people living in Manukau and the Pacific.
The Auckland region has a wide range of businesses that offer excellent trading opportunities. These companies produce a variety of high quality goods and services, are competitive and well-connected with the international market place.
The following industries offer excellent opportunities to trade with Manukau:
- Aluminium construction products
- Food, catering and beverage
- Hospitality
- Horticulture
- Education
- Agricultural, design and planners
- Construction and civil projects
- Resort construction and aid projects.
