Te Taumata is the premier authentic voice for Māori on trade between New Zealand and the rest of the world. As the government's first port of call for trade discussions with Māori, they have an extensive and experienced network that works directly with Māori businesses to deliver better trade outcomes for Māori and create a more prosperous future for whānau (family) and communities. Te Taumata's mission is to transform whānau lives through international trade.

They offer various programs and initiatives to support Māori entrepreneurs and businesses in their trade endeavors. One such program is the Regional Māori Trade Hui, which connects whānau and provides valuable resources and information. Te Taumata also engages in partnerships, such as their exciting new partnership with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, which aims to further enhance opportunities for Māori businesses.

With a commitment to promoting the growth of Indigenous business and fostering relationships, Te Taumata contributes significantly to advancing the Māori economy and advocating for Māori interests in the global trade arena
