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 focusing on sustainable practices that respect cultural values. Māori businesses are increasingly involved in joint ventures and partnerships, contributing to the overall economic growth of the country. In recent years, the Māori economy has seen significant growth, with an emphasis on leveraging Māori land and resources. Initiatives like the Māori Land Court and Te Puni Kōkiri support Māori economic development, helping to enhance the financial well-being of Māori communities and promote self-sufficiency.
