Nelson-Tasman Regional Economic Development Strategy

The Nelson Tasman Regional Economic Development Strategy was released in December 2007 after considerable consultation with the region’s Councils, business agencies, key industries and support sectors.   Much of the work carried out by the EDA is initiated through this document and a key purpose in the Trust Deed is to coordinate and promote strategy projects described in the Nelson Tasman Regional Economic Development Strategy.   This strategy has also fed into the Te Tau Ihu Linking Strategy that links the Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough Economic Development Strategies.   This is the document in which development projects that can attract New Zealand Trade & Enterprise funding are described.

Pipfruit & Seafood Impact Report

Throughout 2004, Nelson's broad-based economy faced a downturn in the pipfruit and fishing sectors.   In response the EDA commissioned a report on the effects of that downturn.

The report found that:

In the pipfruit sector:

  • Oversupply and increasing competition in the northern export markets forced price reductions
  • New Zealand product no longer commands a premium over other Southern Hemisphere fruit

The seafood sector is being hit by:

  • Reduced quotas and falling catch rates
  • High fuel prices which are a major operating cost

It is estimated there will be a reduction of $50 - $65 million in business turnover, as reduced orchard returns work their way through the economy.   

The full impact from reduced fishing activity in 2005 is estimated to be a reduction in gross regional income of $22 million.
