The Government has launched a comprehensive analysis of the food and beverage industry in New Zealand.

The Food and Beverage Information Project has already produced reports covering beverages, processed foods, meat, dairy, produce, seafood and nutriceuticals and health foods.

Further reports will analyse global markets, provide an industry guide for investors and look in depth at the Singapore market.

Economic Development Minister David Carter announced the project at the opening of a new $8 million food innovation centre in Mangere.

The Food Bowl is the only purpose-built complex of its kind in the country.
