Lots of new jobs for Maori? Not really. Riches flowing to the Maori men and women in the street? Definitely not. But a growing and lasting role in the international seafood industry? An emphatic yes. Sealord Group, which is based in Nelson or Auckland, depending on how important you think the corporate head office is, cannot be said to have gone from strength to strength since the Government funded all Maori - or at least those with iwi affiliations - into a half share in Along with the rest of the industry, it has had its ups and downs.
It was hit hard by necessary cuts imposed on the hoki quota and it has got out of mussel farming and processing in the South Island. In spite of the promise of new jobs when Japanese giant Nissui was granted approval to buy the other half from Brierley in , Sealord's New Zealand work force is more than shy of its job peak in the mids.
