$70MIL WAIKATO CHICKEN HATCHERY TO OPEN
American company Cobb-Vantress is building a $70mil plus chicken breeding plant at Whangape, near Huntly in the Waikato.
The chicken factory will supply to 10 percent of the global market.
Local marae clusters Ngā Muka and Waahi Whānui are working with management and welcome the move, which will mean jobs for locals.
Ngā Muka chair Glen Tupuhi says, “Employees, with a focus on Māori have come from Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Meremere, Taupiri and Ngāruawāhia.”
"The plant is eighty percent completed with more recruitment as needed to take place for the post-build and production phase, which is already underway."....

"We have been liasing with them and they are supportive of our work," Andrews said.
"We tell bach stories, that is what we do."
Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust chair James Brown said they were regularly in contact with the trust and supported their plans.
"They are a great group doing good things for all our communities, the 'right way'.
"The restored baches are made immediately available for all Aucklanders to access and rent, which aids and advances Ngāi Tai manaakitanga, or duty of care."
While the islands are administered by DoC, Ngāi Tai has claims there based on historical breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi both as an iwi and as part of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau.....
