Abstract

As part of the Canterbury Regional Economic Development Strategy, the Canterbury Mayoral Forum has initiated the Canterbury Food and Fibre Innovations programme. As part of that work, the Canterbury Mayoral Forum commissioned the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit at Lincoln University to prepare this initial report on the state of the Food and Fibre sector in Canterbury. The Food for Future Consumers Centre of Excellence also contributed to the funding of the report. The report describes the full sector (production, processing and associated services) across the full range of food and fibre industries, with a focus on exported food and fibre products. The report also presents statistical indicators associated with the sector.
