Feb 2010: Opotiki community-led innovation and enterprise |
|
Inspiring Communities has been working alongside Opotiki leaders over recent years, especially in support of the community's aspiration for a sustainable future through new industry and jobs for local people. For years, Opotiki has been struggling economically, and the population has been in decline.

Already people in this District have become experts in Kiwifruit production, and Gold Kiwifruit orchards on Opotiki's East Coast have won national recognition for production and efficiency. This 'can do' approach is about to be applied to another area of food production for world markets - farming the sea.
