Ministry of Primary Industries supports Murihiku Regeneration project to build capability and partnerships for emerging primary sector industries

A project is now underway to develop capability pathways for the primary sector, through the Anamata Māia Skills Hub established by Murihiku Regeneration. This work is focused on emerging sectors, including aquaculture, future foods industries, and health product opportunities.

The project is focused un understanding the capability needs of these industries and integrating pathways to them in Kia Tū Pathway Programme. Kia Tū has been highly successful in supporting whānau in the region to build a sense of life-work direction and move into opportunities. This project will enhance the visibility of primary sector Industries and opportunities and provide clarity and support for people who want to build a career is this sector.

Director, Capability and Relationships Ivan Hodgetts commented that “given the significance of primary industries to Southland, we see this work as a vital component of our focus on ensuring local people build the capability needed to take up opportunities in emerging industries.”

From the outset, Murihiku Regeneration has been focused on enabling regional economic diversification and ensuring local people benefit from innovation and growth in our region. Over the coming weeks we will begin working with Industry partners with a view to supporting people to access these vocational pathways in the New Year.

We look forward to updating you all on this project at our next Pathway Breakfast, which is being held on Wednesday 29 October 2025.
