Abalone

AFL is New Zealand's leading processor of paua products. In addition, through AFL's joint venture with Ocean Ranch (NZ) Limited, in Palmerston North, the Abalone division maintains a strong international presence.

It is a common characteristic of AFL to enter into successful joint ventures, and this philosophy is underpinned by our relationship with Ocean Ranch. Our joint venture is a long established company that continues to have excellent long term relationships with both suppliers and customers. Processing improvements have produced significant gains for Maori and AFL has more several major technical projects planned for the years ahead.

A successful addition has been the development of army ration packs for the Australian, British and New Zealand armed forces, allowing us to utilise processing expertise through this business to develop a successful supply of military rations.
