She says it not only provides good returns to Māori Trusts and Incorporations, but also provides career pathways for Māori people and Whanau.

She says 3800 Māori are employment in the horticulture sector and make up 17% of the total sector. “The total growth output of Māori farms is $220m with more room to improve capacity and capability in the sector.

Not 100% sure but 99%....Go Bus, is a maori venture that is immune from taxation and thus can undercut competitors. Have always avoided this racist company.
