An update on the export performance of the food and fibre sector

Since April 2023, Muka Tangata has been working to review and develop qualifications, standards and micro-credentials.

Muka Tangata has launched two simultaneous qualification development projects for all food and fibre Entry Level and Agriculture qualifications, standards and micro-credentials.

Just over 100,000 women work in our food and fibre sector, 1/3 of the total workforce.

The biggest source of new entrants in food and fibre industries represented by Muka Tangata are people who have not worked in the industry previously (industry changers).

Muka Tangata and the National Trade Academy (NTA) are working together to support good outcomes for learners. 

Retention is a critical issue as it directly affects the stability and growth of the Food and Fibre sector.
