I tēnei wā e piki haere ana te hiahia o ngā kaihoko ki te whai huatanga me te hauora, kua huri puku ngā huawhenua tio mai i te kai tāpiri noa iho ki te tūranga whetu i roto i te umanga kai o te ao. I mua ko te kai i muri o te pouaka tio hei kai ohorere, ko ēnei ranunga pī, kāreti, kānga, pīni matomato, me te pūrorā kua riro hei taonga nui i runga i ngā whata kai me te pono o ngā kaihoko puta noa i te ao.
Te Tipu o te Mākete: He Putanga Piriona-Tara
E ai ki tētahi pūrongo hou nā te kamupene rangahau mākete o te ao, a Frost & Sullivan, e matapaetia ana ka tipu te mākete huawhenua tio i te tere tipu ā-tau o te 6.8% i waenga i te tau 2026 me te tau 2030, ka eke ki te uara e matapaetia ana o te $42.3 piriona. I roto i tēnei wāhanga, ko ngā huawhenua whakauru — ngā hua e whakakotahi ana i te iti rawa o ngā huawhenua rerekē e toru i roto i te kete kotahi — te wāhanga tino tere tipu, e akiakihia ana e ō rātou whakamahinga me te tino kai.
"Kāore ngā kaihoko e whakaaro ana he iti iho te kounga o ngā hua tio i ngā hua hou," te kī a Tākuta Emily Watson, he kaitātari ahumahi kai kei Rānana. "I roto i te nuinga o ngā wā, he nui ake ngā huaora e mau ana i ngā huawhenua tio i ngā hua hou kua roa e tukuna ana. Mā te tukanga tio tere ka mau tonu ngā matūkai i tōna taumata tiketike, he mea tino nui tēnei hei hoko."
Nā te mate urutā COVID-19 i āwhina, i akiaki ngā whare ki te hoko kai pumau me ngā kai tio. Engari, kāore i rite ki ngā momo mate urutā kua memeha haere, kua mau tonu te tikanga o te pupuri i ngā huawhenua tio ki te ringaringa. "I te kitenga o te tangata i te ngāwari o te maka i te ringa o ngā huawhenua tio ki roto i te parai, te hupa, te rimurapa rānei, kāore rātou i hoki atu," te tāpiri a Watson.
Ngā Paerewa Whakaputa me te Kounga
He tukanga uaua te whakaputa huawhenua tio kounga teitei e tīmata ana i te mara. Me whakarite e ngā kaiwhakatipu ngā wā hauhake kia kohia ai ia huawhenua i tōna tino pakari. Hei tauira, he torutoru noa ngā rā e tatari ana mō te hauhaketanga o ngā pī - he wawe rawa, he māngaro; he roa rawa, ka pakari, ka ngaro te reka.
I muri i te hauhaketanga, ka haria ngā huawhenua ki ngā whare tukatuka i roto i ngā hāora. I reira, ka horoia, ka whakarōpūtia, ka whakamahanatia (he maimoatanga wera poto e whakakore ana i ngā whākōkī e pā ana ki te pirau), kātahi ka whakatio tere takitahi (IQF). Mā te tikanga IQF ka whakatio motuhake ia wahi, ka ārai i te piri, ā, ka taea e ngā kaihoko te riringi noa i tā rātou e hiahia ana.
"Kāore e taea te whiriwhiri i te mana whakahaere kounga," te kī a Maria Gonzales, te kaiwhakahaere whakaputa i Green Valley Foods, he kaihanga huawhenua tio matua i Pāniora. "Ka whakamātauhia e mātou ia puranga mō ngā toenga patu pepeke, ngā konganuku taumaha, me ngā poke moroiti. E hiahia ana ā mātou kiritaki, inā koa i te Kotahitanga o Ūropi me Amerika Te Raki, kia whai i ngā tikanga katoa mai i te pāmu ki te marau."
He pono, he tino pakari ngā paerewa ture mō ngā huawhenua tio. I roto i te EU, e hiahiatia ana te whai i ngā whakaritenga katoa i raro i te Ture (EC) Nama 178/2002; i te US, ka whakatinanahia e te FDA ngā Tikanga Hanga Pai (GMP) me ngā pūnaha Pūnaha Mana Whakahaere Hihiri (HACCP). Me whiwhi hoki ngā kaihokohoko e whai ana ki ngā mākete teitei i ngā tiwhikete pēnei i te BRCGS (British Retail Consortium Global Standard) me te IFS (International Featured Standards).
Ngā Mākete Matua me ngā Āhuatanga Kaweake
Ko Ūropi tonu te whenua kawemai nui rawa atu o ngā huawhenua tio, ā, tata ki te 60% o te tono ā-rohe ko Tiamana, ko Wīwī, me te United Kingdom. Heoi, ko ngā mākete hou o te Middle East me te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia kei te whakaatu i te tipu tere rawa atu. Kua pūrongohia e te United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, me Thailand te pikinga rua-mati o ngā kawemai huawhenua tio i roto i ngā tau e toru kua hipa.
"He iti ake te wā o te hunga e piki haere ana te maha o ngā tāngata o te akomanga waenga i ēnei rohe ki te tunu kai i te kāinga, engari e hiahia tonu ana rātou ki ngā kai totika," te whakamārama a Mr. Kenji Tanaka, he kaitohutohu hokohoko e tohunga ana ki ngā kai tio. "He otinga utu pai ngā huawhenua whakaranu tio e pai ana ki ngā momo oranga o ēnei rā."
Mō ngā kaihokohoko ki tāwāhi, ko te huarahi angitu kei roto i te whakaritenga. Hei tauira, kua whakawhanakehia e ngā kaihanga o Belgian he "ranunga wok" e whakauru ana i ngā huawhenua tino pai o Āhia pērā i te kānga pēpi me ngā nati wai, i hangaia mō ngā wharekai Hainamana me Tai i Ūropi. Waihoki, he maha ngā kaihoko o te Rawhiti o Waenganui e tono ana i ngā ranunga me te okra me te aubergine.
"Kāore e pai te rahi kotahi mō te katoa," te kī a Gonzales. "Ka mahi tahi mātou me ā mātou kiritaki ki te whakawhanake i ngā ranunga ahurei e tutuki ai ngā hiahia me ngā tikanga tunu kai o te rohe. Ko ētahi e hiahia ana ki ngā huawhenua tapatapahi mō ngā hupa; ko ētahi e hiahia ana ki ngā wahi nunui ake mō te tunu."
Ngā Wero i roto i te Mekameka Tuku
Ahakoa te kaha o te tono, he nui ngā āwangawanga kei te pā ki te umanga huawhenua tio. Kua piki ake ngā utu pūngao mō te rokiroki makariri me te kawe, ā, kua pēhia ngā hua. Hei tāpiri, kei te whakararuraru te huringa āhuarangi i ngā rohe whakatipu tuku iho. Nā te hukapapa rerekē i Pōrana (he puna nui o te pī me te kānga) me te tauraki i Pāniora (he kaihanga matua o ngā pīni matomato me ngā pepa pere) kua piki ake te piki me te heke o ngā utu.
He wero anō hoki te mahi kawe rauemi. Me pupuri ngā huawhenua tio ki te -18°C, ki raro iho rānei, puta noa i te mekameka tuku — mai i te wheketere tukatuka ki te kaipuke ipu ki te pouaka tio o te hūpermakete. Mā te motuhanga o te mekameka makariri ka rewa, ka heke te kounga, ka tūpono hoki he mōrearea ki te haumaru kai.
"Kua nui te haumi a mātou ki ngā taputapu aroturuki pāmahana i roto i ia ipu," te whakamārama a Gonzales. "Mēnā ka rerekē te pāmahana i roto i te kotahi nekehanga, ka tae mai he whakatūpato ki a mātou. Ko taua taumata mataara he paerewa inaianei mō tetahi kaihokohoko nui."
Te Oranga Tonu me ngā Auahatanga a te Kaihoko
Kei te hanga ngā āwangawanga taiao i te heke mai o ngā huawhenua tio. I tētahi taha, he iti ake te para kai e puta mai i ngā huawhenua tio i ngā hua hou nā te mea ka taea te penapena mō ngā marama. I tētahi atu taha, he nui te tapuwae waro o te pūngao e hiahiatia ana mō te tio me te penapena matao.
Hei whakautu, kei te whakamahi ngā kamupene matua i ngā hangarau matomato. Kei te tāuta ētahi i ngā panera rā ki ngā whare tukatuka; kei te whakamātautau ētahi i ngā pūnaha whakamatao haukini e whai hua ana ki te pūngao. Kei te whanake haere hoki ngā takai, me te maha o ngā waitohu e huri ana mai i ngā putea kirihou ki ngā pouaka kātene hangarua, ki te kiriata wairākau rānei.
"Kei te hiahia ngā kaihoko taitamariki, inā koa ko te Gen Z, ki te utu nui mō te oranga tonutanga," te kī a Watson. "E hiahia ana rātou ki te mōhio ki te pūtake mai o ā rātou kai, me pēhea te tukatuka, me tōna pānga ki te ao. Ko ngā waitohu e taea te kōrero pono i taua kōrero ka toa."
Te Tirohanga ā-Mārama
Ki te titiro whakamua, mā te auahatanga e ārahi te ngaru tipu e whai ake nei. Kei te piki haere te rongonui o ngā hua uara tāpiri - pērā i ngā huawhenua whakaranu kua whakaranua ki ngā mea kakara, ngā momo kōhua-i-roto-i-te-pēke, me ngā ranunga i hangaia mō ngā parai hau. Ahakoa he nui ake te utu, kei te kitea te tipu kaha o ngā huawhenua whakaranu tio waro i Amerika Te Raki me Ūropi ki te Hauāuru.
"Kei te memeha haere te rārangi i waenga i te huawhenua hou me te huawhenua tio," te whakatau a Tanaka. "E mōhio ana ngā kaihoko atamai he rite tonu te kai totika o te huawhenua tio, he watea ake, ā, he iti ake te utu. Mēnā ka pupuri tonu ngā kaihanga i te kounga me te urutau ki ngā hiahia o te rohe, he tino kanapa te āhua o te heke mai o ngā huawhenua whakaranu tio."
