The American summer grilling season is a major opportunity, and the programme is gearing up to make the most of it. Campaigns are ready to go across retail and e-commerce, positioning venison as a natural fit for BBQ and home cooking.

The North American Retail Accelerator Programme (NARA) has helped First Light Farms fast-track product development of venison and NZ elk premium dog treats for the retail market.

Earlier this month, DINZ was invited to the official launch of HENKIV IMMUNE, an immune-enhancing health functional food product developed by leading Korean pharmaceutical company, Yuhan Care. This followed many years of close collaboration with New Zealand and provided the opportunity for a wider market visit to our core stakeholders in both China and South Korea.

Deer Industry New Zealand’s (DINZ) Integrated Farm Planning (IFP) project is set to conclude in May after three years, marking the end of a nationwide programme designed to help build farmer capability across multiple areas of farm performance and compliance.

HENKIV IMMUNE, an immune-enhancing health functional food product developed through years of collaboration spanning New Zealand and South Korea, was officially launched by Yuhan Care yesterday at a ceremony in Seoul.
