"Kua tae ki te wā e huri ai o tātou whakaaro ki te Ipu Ahuwhenua, he taonga tuku iho nō o tātou tipuna ki a tātou.
Nō reira koutou ngā kahohi ora o ratou mā, tēnā tātou katoa."

"As we think about the Ahuwhenua Trophy, we salute our forebears who established this kaupapa, and those who carry it on today.
Therefore to all of us the living I greet you."

The Ahuwhenua Trophy – BNZ Maori Excellence in Farming Award acknowledges and celebrates business excellence in New Zealand’s important pastoral sector.  This competition is held annually, alternating each year between dairy and sheep & beef. 

The 2010 competition showcases achievement in the Maori dairy sector – in particular, successful approaches to governance, financing, management, innovation, environmental management and the recognition of nga tikanga Maori.

 

The Ahuwhenua Cup is undoubtedly the most prestigious trophy in New Zealand agriculture. Winning it has opened doors we never dreamt of. We encourage you to enter for yourself and your whanau.” Dean and Kristen Nikora, Cesped Lands Ltd and winners of the 2008 Ahuwhenua Trophy  Dairy competition.
