Māori Economy
The Māori Economy refers to the economic activities and enterprises associated with the Māori people of New Zealand. It encompasses various sectors, including agriculture, fishing, forestry, and tourism, often leveraging traditional knowledge and cultural practices. Māori businesses are increasingly focusing on sustainable practices and community development.
In recent years, the Māori Economy has seen significant growth, with many iwi (tribes) investing in assets and forming partnerships with other businesses. This development is supported by initiatives like the Māori Land Court and the Te Puni Kōkiri agency, which aim to enhance economic opportunities for Māori communities.
