Macadamia Nut Tree Industry Co-Operative
TML's vision is to develop a grower Macadamia Nut Tree Co-Operative, where growers of the new Macadamia nut tree varieties have the opportunity to own and manage their own processing factory and benefit from marketing their own Macadamia nut products nationally and internationally.
 Ian McConachie from Sun Coast Gold Co-Op with Rod, Vanessa and Damian.
As a Macadamia nut tree grower you are given the opportunity to become part of this Co-Operative and share the many benefits gained through better bulk buying, purchasing and marketing power. Forming Macadamia nut tree grower clusters or networks within a region to utilise contractor services for orchard maintenance, harvesting and drying - will assist new growers within the Co-Op.
TML believe that it is vital that Macadamia nut tree growers control the ownership and marketing of their product right through to the consumer and have identified Sun Coast Gold's Grower Co-Operative (www.suncoastgold.com.au) as an ideal model.
Development plans for the NZ macadamia grower Co-Op is planned for completion in 2006-07 ready to process the first harvest from the new Macadamia nut tree varieties in 2008.
