No other great insight further to the AGM. Still plodding away.

The krill supply issue has to be a worry, as is plant utilisation. Spend all this money on capacity, and have to use it.....

Firmly in the bottom drawer.

PAZ had delay after delay building their new factory.
Pity their Kril supplier had even more delays getting their new ship built.
In the meantime their other plant has to carry the business.
No news about their new product launches.Perhaps an update in a couple of months would be warranted.

They said their pet launch is in August - so would presume at Pet Fair Asia in Shanghai later in the month, where it looks like 5 halls of pet food/treats.

Unfortunate that has taken so long. That space has become so crowded so will be more challenging to get cut through. Also with consumer spending etc, likely more focus on spending on food, rather than treats - which are a bit of an extra.

There has also been a rise of the Chinese manufacturers for pet - much like milk powder etc. Their standards (and also marketing) have improved greatly in recent times, so being imported or from NZ isn't a free ticket to ride. Not sure what products Waitaki are doing, but expect will have some interesting/novel/functional offerings compared to the rest of the market, leveraging off human ingredients etc.

As a shareholder, sure hope they are successful.

There will always be a risk with Krill supply. Only a handful of operators in the World and PAZ relies on one of them.

Sounds like high risk

Hopefully that means high reward.....

Squeezing more bang for buck from blackcurrants

The Government is backing a project to squeeze more value out of New Zealand blackcurrants, Associate Minister for Agriculture, Nicola Grigg says.

“We’re investing in a two-year project with PharmaZen Limited to add value to our blackcurrant industry by piloting a processing facility in Canterbury which will allow growers to transform waste into a high value product, creating additional revenue streams for the industry.

“This high value product, known as pomace, can be extracted during juice processing and is high in anthocyanins – an antioxidant that gives the berries their rich blue colour and can be used in food and health supplements.

“Right now, blackcurrant products such as blackcurrant concentrate and frozen fruit contribute nearly seven percent of New Zealand’s total export value in processed fruit categories.

“By creating onshore processing capacity, this project aims to take the industry to the next level, while improving the sustainability of the sector - which is exciting for our growers,” Ms Grigg says.

Blackcurrants New Zealand Inc, the industry representative body, will help PharmaZen source a reliable supply of fruit as they scale up their processing capacity.

“A fully scaled, expanded facility would increase processing jobs in the Canterbury region and help retain high-value regional jobs.

“Being able to process onshore will help build long-term resilience for the sector, as PharmaZen builds its international brand and experiments with developing value-added products,” Ms Grigg says.

The Government is contributing $276,000 over two years to the $690,000 project from the Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures (SFF Futures) fund.

“This is just one way our Government is supporting our horticulture industry to thrive as we work towards our goal of doubling the value of exports within 10 years.”
