Presentation - Linda Stewart, CEDA CEO - Agri-Investment Week
Linda Stewart, CEDA CEO and Malcolm Bailey, CEDA Chairperson made a presentation to the Committee regarding the New Zealand Agri-Investment Week.
Linda advised that New Zealand AgriFood Investment Week had been met with overwhelmingly positive support and feedback. More than 90 businesses from across New Zealand collaborated to make the week long programme possible. The event delivered a dedicated programme of agrifood events designed to connect, challenge and grow the agrifood industry. A few highlights from the week included the addition of three new major events, the support received from government, and their success online through social media. 2017 was the second year AgriFood week was held in Palmerston North City and Manawatu and the programme and individual events grew both in quality and quantity. The CEDA team ran and managed a number of events including NZAgInvest presents: Future Leaders, ASB Perspective 2025 and Plate of Origin.
Some of the new events included ASB Innovation Zone and AgTech Hackathon: Manawatu. CEDA was instrumental in the creation of the ASB Innovation Zone, particularly pulling together a two day seminar series, which included practical workshops, panel discussions and the AgTech Hackathon: Manawatu Dragon’s Den. CEDA again was key in getting the Hackathon off the ground alongside BCC, Fed Farmers, Microsoft and others, providing essential support through marketing and communications aspects. Other new events that CEDA worked with include Manawatu Chamber of Commerce Agribusiness Networker and NZAgInvest Youth Day.
AgriFood Week generated a high level of media including print, digital, radio and television coverage.
To capitalise on the success of AgriFood Week, CEDA are currently working on a research project that will help shape the future programme as well as help them identify how New Zealand AgriFood Investment Week can add value to Manawatu and the country’s agrifood sector. |

Palmerston North City Council Manawatu District Council
Mayor Grant Smith Mayor Helen Worboys
Cr Jim Jefferies Cr Alison Short
Cr Adrian Broad Cr Shane Casey
The Electoral College will identify the skills, knowledge and experience required for the position/s with the assistance of a director recruitment consultant. This may involve discussions with the Chair and consideration of the results of board performance reviews and composition on the board.
The Joint Committee will appoint directors jointly on the recommendation of the Electoral College (including any reconsidered recommendations’, and taking into account the CEDA board skill set).
It is up to the Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) Governance and Support Team to administer this appointment process as the Chair of the Joint Committee is the Mayor of PNCC
