Ahuriri is a thriving commercial hub within the progressive region of Hawke's Bay.

The region boasts an impressive array of business sectors spanning primary industry and manufacturing through to tertiary services.

A strong agricultual base is complemented by export-driven food processing.

Other sizable manufacturing sectors include forestry and wood processing, chemicals and engineering, and a small but entrepreneurial electronics and technology industry.

The region is the retail hub of the eastern North Island, has strong healthcare and education sectors and a fast growing finance, real estate and business services industry.

Tourism has also recently grown in importance to the region and the recent development in Ahuriri is well positioned to benefit from this.

Ahuriri is located at the heart of the solid infrastructure that supports local business. The Port of Napier and the airport are key strategic assets, along with a skilled and reliable workforce.
