Description
With 80 years and three generations of honey production in the Tweeddale family name, the creation of Makopua Station is a legacy property. Meticulously planned with approximately four million Manuka plants chosen for production of high UMF Manuka honey and sustainable long term indigenous carbon farming, Makopua Station represents an ideal ESG investment.
Over the course of the last nine years this 1,657 hectare (more or less) traditional sheep and beef breeding block has been re-established with Manuka varietals to support the production for one of NZ’s largest Manuka honey producers. On maturity, production is expected to exceed 60,000kg of high grade Manuka honey off the Makopua block. The indigenous planting has been undertaken through a mix of the Government's 1 Billion Trees Scheme (766 ha) and the Afforestation Grant Scheme (652 ha), and subject to the operative schemes the registered planted areas will attract carbon credits over the coming years.
With global investors turning their focus to the non-financial factors of Environmental, Social and Governance, this unique property presents an opportunity for a progressive investor to secure a large-scale commitment to a sustainable, environmentally conscious and returns based future.
