Opportunities within Ruapehu

Carrot Juicing

A regional carrot juicing and processing facility anchored in Ohakune, converting currently under-utilised carrot residue into export-grade juice concentrate for established international markets. The opportunity strengthens Ruapehu’s value-add capability, improves utilisation of existing horticultural production, and captures greater onshore value within the district before export.
