INDUSTRY REPORTS:
Horticulture and game fishing industries on the Coast have potential
|
|
|
Two seperate reports have found there is potential to expand and develop both the horticulture and game fishing industries on the West Coast.
Development West Coast, with support from New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, commissioned the reports to evaluate the viability of both industries on the Coast. The reports found there was potential to expand existing, and develop niche businesses in both but it was unlikely any were large enough to support large scale industries.
Reports:
(1) Viability of a commercially sustainable West Coast horticulture industry.
(2) West Coast Recreational Game Fishing; Industry Development Plan.
