Many owners of small NZ businesses are custom-designing some of their products for the Asian market.
New Zealand food manufacturers that create health products are ready to spring ahead to expand in Feb 2013. The business bridge is opening up for companies who are up-to-speed with New Zealand food technology and who are prepared to raise the bar to that of making New Zealand the natural pharmacy of the world.
Hundreds of new employees will be needed within these businesses to fill a range of jobs in New Zealand’s natural health pharmaceutical industry. GMANZ’s strategic move to develop New Zealand as the world’s pharmacy will substantially improve the financial standing of New Zealand families this year.
It’s big news for crop growers and almost any business capable of producing health products with native NZ ingredients. The GMANZ business bridge has been built for herb growers, industrial chemists and New Zealand business people to enable them to export a wide range of health products for animals and humans which contain certified and approved ingredients specifically grown in New Zealand.
The jobs are arising as enterprising Kiwis are creating products made from ingredients derived from NZgrown crops and NZ-farmed animals. Entrepreneurs in NZ can now use the newly established GMANZ business bridge to reach distributors throughout Asia.
The GMANZ business bridge is the solution to the challenge of exporting NZ-grown products to Asia.
Several GMANZ leaders, including Hank Ensing (GMANZ chairman) and Eisen Shim (vice chairman), have returned from Asia, having cemented the last 
few pillars of the GMANZ business bridge between NZ exporters and Asian distributors.
In February Korean distributors and Korean health industry leaders will be visiting New Zealand companies interested in exporting to South Korea using the GMANZ business bridge.
In addition, last-minute interest has some New Zealand businesses scurrying to be listed for a visit by these Korean distributors in order to plan customised products for export later this year.
The GMANZ delegation of Asian visitors will visit prospective exporters at their own business premises. They will meet in fields and factories, warehouses and laboratories.
It will be a tour of possible export suppliers and manufacturers across New Zealand in the natural health and well-being industry.
Several groups are coming to New Zealand in the first two weeks of February. The Asian leaders will tour New Zealand looking for suppliers and NZ companies wishing to join an export consortium and use the GMANZ business bridge to export to Asia.
Winning companies across New Zealand must lead out as highly responsible producers worthy of being ambassadors of a country capable of becoming the pharmacy of the world.
