Miraka is the first Maori majority-owned dairy processor in New Zealand�s dairy-processing industry, with 80% of its shareholders comprising of whanau trusts and corporations. The company name is a giveaway of what it does: its Maori for "milk".
Miraka kicked off its operations in Malaysia this year by partaking in the ongoing Taste New Zealand Food Fair. The congregation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to officially introduce the new dairy product line in the country.
The brand places a heavy emphasis on environment protection. To stay true to its vision of �nurturing the world�, it has integrated several sustainability principles into its business model. Taking its role as the kaitiaki or guardians of the environment seriously, Miraka strives to leave a minimal impact on the world through continuous efforts such as processing its biological by-products through vermiculture within the valley, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases, and irrigating water extracted from the milk onto adjoining farms. This makes Miraka a preferred brand for consumers looking to buy products with a low carbon footprint. Its milk is sourced from 100 local farms around its factory in New Zealand to ensure farm-fresh quality. Located in Mokai, its production utilizes sustainable and renewable geothermal energy through cutting-edge manufacturing processes.
Mirakas offerings include: Consumer powders, ingredient powders and UHT products.
Maori & Malay
Heres a fun fact: Linguists believe that the Malay and Maori language have a common origin, both belonging in the category of �Austronesian Languages�. Below are some examples:
Maori | Malay |
ika | ikan |
tangi | nangis |
taringa | telinga |
rua | dua |
rima | lima |
rangit | langit |
This is definitely useful for those planning to experience the Maori culture in the future!
