Our Mission

Iwi was established to support the indigenous food producers of New Zealand. 

Our products, which include dairy yogurts and powders, fresh milk, Mānuka honey, floral honeys, spring water, seafood and nutraceuticals, are nutritious, safe and (best of all) delicious.

In New Zealand society, iwi form the largest social units in Māori culture. The word iwi means 'peoples' or ‘nations', and is often translated as ‘tribe’, or confederation of tribes. There are many iwi throughout New Zealand. And among them are boutique producers of premium food products. The Iwi brand was established to support these producers and introduce their products to the world. 

If you are a food supplier, such as a wholesaler, distributor or food services company, consistent supply is essential. 

Our partner producers run small businesses. The world is a big place and they are too small to export alone. As a consequence, the world misses out. 

We bring these boutique food producers together, so the rest of the world can experience what New Zealanders have known about for generations.
