The agricultural industry directly employs around 1,400 people in Rotorua, with a further 180 employed in agricultural services.
Most of the 1200 farming units in Rotorua are dedicated to dairy, beef, sheep and deer farming. There is an increasing number of smaller lifestyle blocks in the District, with at least half of the 1200 units being under 5 hectares in size, as well as rationalisation and more intensive use of larger farming blocks. Dairy and deer farming have shown strong profitability in recent years. Horticulture remains a relatively minor industry in the Rotorua District, although there may be scope for introducing new crops based on specific soils and microclimates.
“Rotorua offers exporters like us everything we need: reliable workforce, central location, easy access to ports, low overheads and a lifestyle that can’t be beaten”
Mike Low – General Manager, Hayes International
“Most national tenants view Rotorua as a high priority location for investment in New Zealand, mainly because of our high tourist infrastructure and forestry sector which seems to attract all the main national companies to Rotorua”.

Graham Hall, QSO JP, Ex-Mayor of Rotorua
