Our Mission

To build a community of skilled and passionate butchers and retail meat sector personnel, dedicated to innovation and collaboration, ensuring the long-term success and reputation of the retail meat sector.

 

Here at Retail Meat New Zealand (RMNZ) we are all about building a community within our industry to share knowledge, support each other and fuel innovation. We have a wide range of industry businesses within our membership base including independent butchers, supermarket meat departments, small goods manufacturers, wholesalers and processors.

RMNZ members sell approximately 85 percent of all meat products sold on the New Zealand retail meat market.

Our objectives at RMNZ are to encourage and support excellence in our industry, deliver initiatives to help elevate meat retailers and the products they sell and promote the butchery trade as a worthwhile career.

We aim to meet this objective by helping our members gain the most out of their businesses, by providing opportunities through our events and activities to excel in their craft and maximise exposure to both industry and consumers.

Our events also create exciting opportunities for our members to accelerate their careers within the industry.

We keep our members on top of industry-specific information and our activities by providing regular and timely industry updates.

Our dual membership with Retail NZ allows our members to take full advantage of some excellent retail specific resources, advice and information.
