ABOUT supakako
We enable the people we work with to put food on the table, both in Aotearoa and the Pacific. Supakako is a food import company which brings produce from the Pacific to be proudly sold in New Zealand.
When you consider that New Zealand exports $106 million worth of goods to Samoa last year, but Samoa only sends $7 million to New Zealand, you begin to understand why our simple service is so important. We’re a business, not a charity. But at every stage of our supply chain we’ve found ways to help.
Expanding Samoa’s (Tonga, Niue, Vanuatu coming soon) exports means more to us than moving produce. We focus on generating opportunities at both ends for people to thrive; many families can now further their education, pay their medical fees and cover their living expenses.
The people we work with become far more self-reliant and less dependent on overseas assistance, making life much easier for them and their relatives. We want to build on this momentum. Auckland has more Pacific Island people than any other city in the world, it’s also our base, so it’s only right that we aim to make things better for those who are struggling here too.
