Figure 29: Location quotient and employees– Hamilton other food & beveragemanufacturingFigure 28: Location quotient andemployees – other food &beverage manufacturingThe Waikato region makes a significant contribution to national food exports and is akey centre of food innovation. New Zealand exported $12.1 billion of dairy products,$5.6 billion of meat (mostly lamb, beef and veal) and $2.1 billion of wine in 2011. 63 NewZealand's exports of processed foods excluding these sectors experienced strongcompound annual growth of 18 per cent from 2000 onwards and accounted for $2.1billion of exports in 2010. The Government wants to encourage food productmanufacturers to create more value from their products to more than double this exportfigure by 2020. 64The Government is spending up to $21 million to establish a network of open-accessfood development facilities across the country. 65 This will help small and medium sizedfirms access the facilities that allow them to develop, test and prove new products. TheNew Zealand Food Innovation Network consists of four centres around New Zealand,each with a different and complementary focus. Each centre also offers facilities and/orbusiness support for businesses in the food industry. 66New Zealand Food Innovation (Waikato) Ltd (NZFIW) is the regional component of thenetwork, located at and 100 per cent owned by the Waikato Innovation Park (discussedin chapter 11.4.3). The first stage is an independent development dairy processingfacility and the focus will expand to meat at a later stage. The facility is a multi-purpose,New Zealand Food Safety Authority export certified, nominal ½ tonne/hr powder spraydrying facility. The centre is operated as a contract manufacturer and becamecommissioned and operational in July 2012. 6763Beef and Lamb New Zealand Inc (2012, p.19-20).64New Zealand Government (2010) New $21 million food innovation network.65New Zealand Government (2010) New $21 million food innovation network.66Innovation Waikato Ltd (2011c) NZ Food Innovation (Waikato) Ltd.67Innovation Waikato Ltd (2011c) NZ Food Innovation (Waikato) Ltd.Page 30 Doc #: 2069885
