Miraka Limited

Tena Koutou and Welcome to Miraka, Aotearoa/New Zealand Māori-owned Miraka is well established in the New Zealand dairy-processing industry with strong values founded on the cultural beliefs of our owners. These values guide our business decisions and underpin the interconnected relationships we have with each other and with the natural world that sustains and nourishes our well-being. Located in Mokai, 30km northwest of Taupō in New Zealand's central North Island, Miraka is unique within the dairy industry. Using sustainable and renewable geothermal energy, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, Miraka has the power and capacity to process more than 250,000,000 litres of milk into powders and UHT products every year. The Miraka milk supply comes from 100 local farms within an 85km radius of the factory. This close circle of suppliers and the strong relationship we have with our dairy farmers, supports the delivery of freshness across our range of products. Our range of quality products has a global reach to more than 23 countries. Miraka is owned by a group of Māori trusts and incorporations. These organisations include Wairarapa Moana Incorporation, Tuaropaki Trust, Waipapa 9 Trust, Hauhungaroa Partnership, Tauhara Moana Trust and Huiarau Farms. Our strategic partners and investors include Te Tumu Paeroa, Te Awahohonu Forest Trust Limited, Vinamilk, a leading milk manufacturer and dairy products enterprise in Vietnam and Global Dairy Network who bring experience and knowledge in dairy sales and marketing internationally. Miraka has an intergenerational view of business – we're here for the long term and have a shared vision of sustainable business practices that ensure our future generations enjoy the benefits we do today. We are kaitiaki (guardians) of our land which will not be sold but passed on through the generations.
