The purpose was to visit Prolife Foods in Hamilton.

bee hives at Cambridge

In Cambridge.
Cambridge is the birthplace of our Manuka honey brand, Haddrell’s & Cambridge.

We also saw the queen bee rearing.

There is only one queen in a hive.
Raising a healthy queen is the key to producing high-quality Manuka honey.

helicopter

The hives of premium Manuka honey are deep in the mountains, so we got there by helicopter.
The hives also need to be transported by helicopter.

tasting avocado oil

We also discussed various new potential products.
We had tastings and business meetings.

New Zealand has beautiful nature.
Because of the abundance of volcanoes, the soil is rich, and the water is clean, so the nutritional value of food is higher.

Batch Winery in Waiheke island

We also visited three wineries on Waiheke Island, a 40-minute ferry ride from Auckland.
They have delicious wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Maori performance at Auckland War Museum

It is essential to know the culture of the country.

At the Auckland War Memorial Museum, we learned about the history of the wars that NZ was involved in and prayed for the souls of the war dead.
We also saw a Maori performance, an indigenous tribe closely related to the manuka honey industry.

Awanui

1st arrival of Manuka Honey

In February 2019, we went to the North Island of New Zealand and visited 5 apiaries. We contracted with Mana Kai and are going to sell our own “Awanui” brand with Kobe Apiary in the Japanese market. The Manuka tree grows only in New Zealand. It is highly bactericidal and is especially good for the respiratory and digestive systems.
