M\u0101ori Agribusiness Research: What we now know    As more land is returned to iwi through Treaty settlements, M\u0101ori land entities are exploring how to provide for their people while upholding principles such as kaitiakitanga (values of guardianship and mutual responsibility).   Many M\u0101ori land trusts and incorporations are recognised innovators in the agribusiness sector. There is also considerable scope for improvement, with some estimates putting the potential for adding value by highlighting cultural attributes as $8 billion over 10 years.  The M\u0101ori agricultural sector is therefore crucial to the development of future agribusiness solutions that are productive economically, while also restoring the wellbeing of the land and water resources underpinning agriculture for future generations.  M\u0101ori agribusinesses experience unique opportunities and limitations as a result of competing market, legislative, cultural and social factors.   Here\u2019s what we now know:  Learning 1: Key principles and domains  Four key principles constrain and shape actions of M\u0101ori land trusts and incorporations:   1.\tWhai rawa \u2013 the principle of financial profitability 2.\tKaitiakitanga \u2013 the principle of protecting the environment 3.\tMana whakahaere \u2013 the principle of leading well 4.\tWhanaungatanga \u2013 the principle of caring for the community  Five key domains determine their success or failure:   1.\tFinancial capacity \u2013 the ability to access working capital 2.\tSkills and knowledge \u2013 governance and operations 3.\tRelationships and trust \u2013 social capital and networks 4.\tPaths to market \u2013 market access and branding 5.\tRegulatory environment \u2013 legislation  Learning 2: M\u0101ori values pay off  When you apply M\u0101ori values and emphasise protection and restoration of the mauri and whenua using M\u0101ori values, the result is a more sustainable, profitable and productive farm.   Conventional wisdom tells us too much focus on cultural values and environmental sustainability will diminish productivity. This research demonstrates otherwise; cultural values will enhance a farm\u2019s ability to be productive, financially and environmentally sustainable.   [infographic: cultural values + environmental values = increased productivity, sustainability and profitability]  Learning 3: Rethink performance measures  So how do M\u0101ori farms manage to uphold cultural and environmental values while increasing productivity?  They naturally and deliberately incorporate M\u0101ori values into their decision-making and governance.   M\u0101ori farms, whether they are managed by M\u0101ori, pakeha, sharemilkers or others, attempt to incorporate and emphasise those M\u0101ori values.  It\u2019s a different kind of measure to what the performance of a farm looks like. Yes the financial, productive values are there but they\u2019re also measuring the mauri of the whenua. Which is hard to quantify but it is how they express it.  [Infographic - connected puzzle of spiritual + financial + environmental + productive values working together. What does mauri look like? What does a farm look like? Tease it together.]   Learning 4: Strong correlations among values, rather than trade-offs  M\u0101ori agribusiness value-drivers work in synergy.  [Circular infographic Strong wealth generation (whai rawa) [dollar sign?]  &#x2194; growth in mauri (health) of their whenua [green leaves] &#x2194; improved social connections and relationships (manaakitanga\/whanaungatanga) [group of connected people] &#x2194; more effective governance (mana whakahaere) [leadership icon]  Learning 5: Enablers and constraints on M\u0101ori agribusiness  Successful M\u0101ori agribusinesses focus on continual improvement, product quality, and future vertical integration.  Leading M\u0101ori land incorporations and trusts (MALITs) are diversifying beyond standard farming practices (such as sheep, beef and dairy) into honey, tourism, hemp, organic, goat and dairy sheep farming. . While top-heavy governance and use of consultants was noted as a flaw in the literature, most successful agribusinesses learned to make the most of these apparent flaws and, in some cases, turn them into advantages.  [Separate box] One of the \u201cbig myths of governance\u201d, according to one MALIT* \u201cis you actually need to understand where you need to have advice.\u201d   They successfully engage with a farm consultant \u201c...to paper over the cracks of lack of expertise around the board table\u201d and \u201cget some science behind some of the things that we\u2019re doing.\u201d  Another participant, talking about both consultants and metrics, outlined that because of the issues that the board\u2019s had over the last five to eight years [the consultant was] brought in to be a lot more than just a technical advisor, [now he] just runs numbers, really looking at what can drive our performance and then how we make our environmental plan work... how we utilise surpluses and how we fill deficits from a cash point of view. [ends]  However, the vast majority of M\u0101ori agribusinesses face constrained opportunities to access premium markets, remaining dependent on their supply chains to communicate their credentials to market and access premiums.  As a result of this research, an online tool to measure enablers and constraints on M\u0101ori agribusinesses has been developed.   The Kohuratia website provides M\u0101ori agribusiness in Aotearoa - or anyone interested in moving toward an agribusiness driven by M\u0101ori values - with a snapshot of the current constraints their operations are faced with, and identifies the most impactful actions an organisation can make.  Learning 5: Open up the conversation  These findings can support all farmers of Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether M\u0101ori or non-M\u0101ori, the broader farming community could benefit from having conversations with their M\u0101ori farmer neighbours.   [image of Maori farmers conversing]  Snapshot of Maori agribusiness  50% surveyed were actively seeking access to premium markets.   94% supply straight to a processor, rather than processing and distributing to customers themselves  5% outline that they are actively engaged in the supply chain to connect with their customers. This is presumably the 5% of agribusinesses surveyed supplying directly to consumers.   50% make efforts to create products demanded by premium markets.  45% are adopting integrative farming approaches (i.e. mixed\/mosaic land uses) to improve environmental performance, spread risk, and in turn elevate their sustainability credentials to meet both market expectations and kaitiaki (environmental) stewardship values.   36% are using industry benchmarking and key performance indicators (KPIs) to improve their market environmental credentials to meet increasing consumer demand for these attributes.   9% belong to quality assurance schemes, which are designed to provide international market assurance concerning the environmental and social credentials of product.  18% are working on their own unique brand and story to communicate their values to markets  9% are actively working on initiatives to target niche premium markets.   25% constrained by lack of processors to take and market premium products. This is the largest barrier.   18% attributed problems with making decisions inside their organisations as a constraint to taking clear actions to engage in premium value chains.   25% have trouble accessing the skills, capabilities, knowledge, networks, and financial capital to develop premium products that represent their values  Toitu te Whenua, Toitu te Koira, Toitu te Tikanga \u2013 Whenua, Life, Values! Whenua Life, Values Is a research project funded by Our Land and Water \u2013 Toit\u016b te Whenua, Toiora te Wai, and completed in 2019. Collaborators include Jason Mika (Massey University), John Reid (University of Canterbury), Matthew Rout (University of Canterbury), Shaun Awatere (Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research), Annemarie Gillies (Ng\u0101 Pae o te M\u0101ramatanga, Te Puna Ora o Mataatua, Te R\u016bnanga o Ngai Tahu), Diane Ruwhiu (University of Otago). The aim of the research was to understand the constraints and opportunities M\u0101ori agribusinesses experience and to develop a tool for M\u0101ori agribusiness to best manage competing demands and opportunities, including tensions between economic and cultural values in business.
